Global Affairs Canada says the agency is aware of 29 Canadians and permanent residents in Nepal and the Tibet Autonomous Region who still have not been located.
Senior government officials told reporters in a background briefing on Sept. 3 that efforts to collect DNA samples from the families of missing Canadians were underway.
