  "account": "A deadly flash flood in Nepal's Rasuwa district resulted in at least 162 fatalities and left nearly 300 foreign nationals missing, prompting evacuations and high alert levels in neighboring Indian states. The disaster, triggered by a glacial collapse and debris flow, caused extensive damage to infrastructure, including 80 bridges and 40 kilometers (25 miles) of paved highway. Rescue operations, involving helicopters and security personnel, were underway, with hundreds of people rescued by air. Chinese President Xi Jinping urged an all-out rescue effort for Tibet, following reports of 83 security personnel missing and 558 missing in the region. The US State Department pledged $500,000 in emergency funding, and Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese confirmed that 34 of his country's citizens were still unaccounted for. Authorities warned residents near the rivers to remain vigilant due to potential further flooding from remaining blockages upriver.",
