  "summary": "Desperate families in Nepal are searching for missing relatives after devastating floods on the Nepal-Tibet border. According to Punch, at least 165 people have been killed. The floods have left thousands of people missing, including over 300 Indians, as reported by Live Mint.\n\nThe disaster occurred when an avalanche blocked the flow of the Lhende tributary of the Bhotekoshi River, leading to a surge of water that caused widespread destruction in the area, as per Live Mint. The floods and landslides have affected several districts, with Rasuwa being the first district hit.\n\nFamilies are moving between hospitals and police helpdesks, hoping to find news of their missing loved ones, as reported by Channel News Asia. The EU and India have joined international efforts to send aid to Nepal, with India dispatching multiple consignments of humanitarian assistance and disaster relief material.",
