  "summary": "Desperate families in Nepal are searching for missing relatives after devastating floods on the Nepal-Tibet border. According to reports, at least 165 people have been killed. The floods have left many tourists unaccounted for, including nationals from several countries.\n\nAmong those missing is Terricia Govender, a 33-year-old from Isipingo Beach, who was part of a tour group associated with the Isha Foundation. Her family was informed that she was among the missing people after the immigration office on the Tibet-Nepal border was washed away in the flash floods. The New Straits Times reports that two Malaysian Fire and Rescue Department officers, Mohd Fakhrul Munir Mohd Isa and Mohd Sani Harul, are also among those unreachable.\n\nThe Live Mint reports that over 300 Indians are among thousands of people reported missing. India has dispatched multiple consignments of humanitarian aid to Nepal, including 37.5 tonnes of emergency supplies sent on Thursday. Rescue operations are ongoing, with many tourists still unaccounted for, including 177 Indians.",
