  "summary": "Rescuers are searching for survivors following a devastating mud and rock wall collapse into a river on the Nepal-China border, triggering catastrophic flooding that swept through mountain towns and valleys. At least 157 bodies have been recovered, and officials from Nepal's tourism ministry report that around 340 foreigners, including 2 Irish nationals and 12 UK citizens, are among the hundreds still missing. Alpine Eco Trek, the tour operator leading the excursion, confirmed that two Irish nationals and a 13-year-old girl remain missing after their nine-day tour to Mount Kailash got trapped at the Nepal-Tibet border. The Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade is closely monitoring the situation and will provide consular assistance to impacted Irish citizens and their families.",
