Czech citizens stranded in India still awaiting evacuation

Around 120 Czech citizens are waiting to be evacuated from the Indian region of Ladakh, in the northern part of the country, which has been hit by flash floods. The Czech ambassador to India said on Wednesday that the evacuation will take several days to complete. Among the stranded Czechs are two groups of tourists with whom the Czech embassy has been unable to establish contact. So far, 165 people have been confirmed dead and 400 are missing in the wake of the flooding.
