  "summary": "A flash flood has struck Nepal and China, resulting in significant loss of life and many people missing. According to The Guardian, at least 157 bodies have been recovered and over 400 travellers are missing, including 33 Britons and dozens of Australians. The flood occurred on the Nepal-Tibet border, specifically on the Tibetan side of the Bhote Koshi River.\n\nThe disaster has caused widespread destruction, with many settlements along the river affected. The Hindu reports that 95 deaths have been confirmed in Nepal, with 384 people still missing, including 105 Indian nationals. The ages of the missing British citizens range from 13 to 65.\n\nPolice in Nepal have reported that over 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, according to Reuters.",
