  "account": "A massive wall of mud and rock slid into a river on the Nepal-China border, causing catastrophic flooding and killing at least 157 people. Hundreds of tourists and locals are still missing, with 400 reported missing in total, including 133 from India, 47 from the United States, 34 from Australia, 33 from Britain and 24 from Canada. Nepali officials suspect an earthquake may have triggered the collapse of a glacier, while Chinese authorities reported three deaths and 265 missing in the affected area. Rescue efforts are ongoing, with helicopters unable to land in certain areas due to damaged infrastructure. The disaster has also led to evacuation orders in northern Indian states bordering Nepal.",
