  "account": "The United States has offered $500,000 in emergency assistance following devastating flash floods in Nepal and Tibet, which have claimed over 165 lives and left 63 US citizens missing. The State Department announced the deployment of a disaster response advisor to the region and expressed condolences to the families and loved ones of those who lost their lives. Secretary of State Marco Rubio extended support to rescue and relief measures, stating solidarity with the Nepali people. Approximately 1,500 people are reported missing, with around 826 in Nepal and 558 in Tibet. Search and rescue operations are underway, using helicopters to locate survivors and transport them to relief camps. The rugged mountainous terrain, frequented by trekkers and pilgrims, saw a high number of casualties due to the strong gush of mud and water downstream. Among the 826 missing people in Nepal, 500 are foreigners, including 63 from the United States.",
