00:08horrible situation for people there.
00:10So many missing and so many people have lost their lives.
00:13And I know for a lot of British people who are missing in their families, just how worrying and concerning
00:18it will be.
00:19So that money is really important.
00:21And the rescue support that we'll provide them as well and working really closely with the government there and our
00:27consulate team to make sure that we can get support as quickly as possible to people and support them.
00:33You know, we've got a proud and long history with Nepal and we want to support them in their time
00:38of need.
00:39So obviously it's a fast moving situation.
00:41It's distressing. It's shocking.
00:42But we'll be working with them really closely.
00:45My heart really goes out to people.
00:47And that's why it's right that as a government that we're providing that support.
00:51And we'll continue to assess the situation and go further if we need to, of course.
