  "summary": "A devastating glacial collapse along the border between Nepal and Tibet has resulted in a death toll of at least 165, with nearly 1,400 people missing. The disaster struck on Wednesday when a wall of mud and rock swept through Himalayan communities, claiming entire villages. Nepal's National Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Authority reported that 826 people were missing, including 600 foreign nationals, while China's CCTV cited 558 people missing in Gyirong county, including 260 foreigners. The flood originated from the Lhende Khola river, a tributary of the Bhotekoshi, which is a popular trekking and pilgrimage route connecting Kathmandu with Lhasa. Foreign tourists from India, the United States, Australia, Britain, and Canada are among those reported missing, with the death toll expected to rise as rescue efforts continue.",
