  "account": "At least 384 travellers, including 291 foreigners, have been reported missing after torrential floods in Nepal's Tibet border area on Wednesday, August 26, 2026, according to the country's tourism board. The missing foreigners consist of 105 Indians, while at least nine people have lost their lives in the flooding. The massive flash flood has washed away villages and damaged roads, bridges, and power projects in the region. The exact cause of the disaster is yet to be determined, though it may be linked to heavy rainfall or an avalanche on the Tibetan side. Prime Minister Narendra Modi spoke to his Nepali counterpart, conveying condolences and pledging humanitarian assistance. Congress President Mallikarjun Kharge expressed heartfelt condolences, vowing solidarity with Nepal's people. In the Chinese state news agency Xinhua's report, around 50 Tamil Nadu pilgrims were stranded in Nepal following a flash flood that triggered landslides in their route. The Indian government has mobilized the National Disaster Response Force (NDRF) to deal with any potential crisis, and South Korea has established a task force to send a rapid-response team to Nepal. Chinese President Xi Jinping has ordered efforts to search for and rescue people affected by the mudslide that struck villages near the China-Nepal border in Tibet.",
