  "account": "Kathmandu hospitals saw a flood of anxious relatives on Thursday, desperately seeking information about missing family members after devastating floods along the Nepal-Tibet border. Subash Khatani, the son of Subash Khatani, was among those searching for his elder brother, Ram Sharan Rasaili, who is unaccounted for in Rasuwa district. The disaster, triggered by a glacial collapse, resulted in at least 165 deaths, including 162 bodies recovered by Nepali police. The tragic event extended up to 160km south to Chitwan, near the Indian border. Families moved between hospitals and police helpdesks, hoping for any news about their loved ones. The Bir hospital in Kathmandu pledged to treat all victims for free and was prepared to handle the influx of patients. In Nepal, 823 people, including 579 tourists, remain uncontacted, while in Tibet, three people were confirmed dead and 558, including 260 foreigners, remain missing.",
