Husband of missing Australian: 'I just want some help to bring Reshma back home' N By Natalie Whiting
The husband of missing Australian mother Reshma Patel says he has not given up hope she will be found alive, as he calls for better coordination in rescue efforts on the Nepal-Tibet border.
Bhavin Patel has flown to Nepal to search for his wife, who has been out of contact since the disaster.
“I feel so helpless — I just want some help to bring Reshma back home,” he told the ABC.
