  "summary": "Flash floods in Nepal have resulted in 95 deaths. According to Punch Nigeria, 291 foreign tourists are missing. The disaster occurred near Nepal's border with Tibet.\n\nThe Korea Times reports that the flash flood may have been triggered when a glacier broke off and crashed onto the valley floor. Satellite imagery from Planet Labs showed a mountainside buried under debris and sediment after the flood.\n\nThe Hindu reports that the disaster swept through the Bhote Koshi River basin, causing widespread destruction. Authorities say hundreds of travellers are unaccounted for, including foreign tourists from several countries. Rescue teams are continuing search and evacuation operations.",
