Some 290 Israelis remain unreachable by loved ones and officials in northern India in the wake of deadly floods, according to the Foreign Ministry.

The Foreign Ministry is sending Deputy Ambassador Ohad Nakash Kaynar to the stricken area to try to make contact with the missing Israeli travelers.

“Sometimes diplomacy includes rolling down sleeves and getting busy,” tweets Nakash Kaynar from the airplane.
