British aid worker mistakenly identified as a survivor of Nepal-Tibet disaster

More than 1,000 people confirmed dead and more than 4,000, including 36 British nationals, remain missing

A British aid worker was mistakenly identified by Nepalese authorities as a rescued survivor after returning to Kathmandu on a humanitarian aid flight.

Alastair Chambers, a 45-year-old former Gloucester councillor, said he flew to Nepal last week to distribute sleeping bags, food and essentials to communities cut off by collapsed bridges.
