  "summary": "A flash flood has struck Nepal and China, resulting in significant loss of life and many people missing. According to The Hindu, at least 95 people have died, and 384 remain unaccounted for, including 105 Indian nationals. The disaster occurred in Nepal's Rasuwa district near the Tibet border after a sudden surge in the Bhotekoshi River.\n\nThe flood has affected tourists from various countries. The Guardian reports that 33 British citizens, including a 13-year-old girl, are among over 400 travellers missing. Additionally, dozens of Australians are also unaccounted for, as mentioned by The Sydney Morning Herald and The Age. In total, at least 341 foreign nationals are missing, with over 100 yet to have their nationality confirmed.\n\nPolice in Nepal have recovered 157 bodies, and more than 40 people are injured and receiving treatment in hospital. The flood was triggered by a wall of mud and rock collapsing into the river on the Himalayan border of Nepal and Tibet.",
