The Nepal Embassy in Israel has received applications from 200 more people who want to return to Nepal.

The Nepal Embassy said the process to repatriate them has begun.

A Nepal Airlines aircraft brought back 254 Nepalis from Israel on Friday. There are over 4,000 Nepalis currently in Israel with many wanting to come back.

As many as 10 Nepalis died in the attack on Israel by Hamas on October 7. Four people were injured in the attack and one person is still missing.

Of the injured, one arrived in Nepal on Friday with three still undergoing treatment.

The bodies of the deceased will sent back to Nepal soon, said Nepali Embassy officials in Israel.

The missing, Bipin Joshi, is believed to have been taken by the Hamas soldiers. The Nepali Embassy is coordinating with the Israeli government to find him.
