Australia news LIVE: Second Australian found after Nepal floods as death toll of disaster exceeds 1000; US launches major strikes against Iran

The Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade has revised the number of Australians missing in Nepal and Tibet down to 38, from 43 yesterday morning, as it says five additional Australians have been accounted for.

Of the five citizens confirmed safe, one was in Nepal, one in Tibet, and three were outside of the disaster zone.

Because the Australians had not been in contact with families or next of kin since the floods struck last week, their welfare could not be confirmed initially.
