  "account": "In the aftermath of devastating flash floods in Nepal, people are risking their lives to retrieve essential Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG) cylinders from debris, a video showing this has gone viral. The floods, triggered by an earthquake causing an avalanche that blocked rivers, have left many dead and missing, including 348 travelers, 105 of whom are Indian. Rescue efforts involve police, military personnel, and helicopters, while authorities warn of potential second flood due to blockages upstream. Netizens react to the video, with some expressing concern over looting, while others commend the survivors' humanity. The official cause of the flooding remains unclear, though a foreign minister confirmed an earthquake likely triggered the avalanche.",
  "summary": "Rescue efforts are currently underway in Nepal as rescuers are wading through mud and sludge to look for survivors in the floods. Amid this, mostly men were spotted collecting LPG cylinders from the debris.",
