Kathmandu, Nepal (ANTARA News) -- A total of 26 Indonesian evacuees from Nepal is expected to arrive at Halim Perdamakusuma Airport in Jakarta on Wednesday evening, a government official said.

The evacuees went to Tribhuvan Airport in the Nepalese capital city of Kathmandu to be flown out of the earthquake-hit country to Jakarta, Deputy Director of the Indonesian Foreign Affairs Ministrys Protection of Indonesian Citizens and Indonesian Law Body Krishna Djelani said.

"In this first batch of evacuees, 19 adults and seven children are being flown back to Indonesia," he added.
