  "account": "At least 332 people have been reported killed after the rapid flooding of the Bhote Koshi River in Rasuwa district, Nepal, yesterday evening. <source 3b1bbfe8-ff3>\n\nThe Malaysian Embassy has not received any official confirmation of a possible human tragedy involving 55 Malaysian nationals who have gone missing since the sudden flood hit Rasuwa, Nepal, last night. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs stated that they are taking caution against false information circulating on social media and other unofficial channels.\n\nThe Malaysian Embassy in Kathmandu is actively seeking immediate confirmation from Nepalese authorities. As of now, the Ministry has not received any official confirmation of any human tragedy involving Malaysian nationals.\n\nThe Ministry urges the public not to speculate or share unverified information as it can cause unnecessary anxiety and pressure on the involved families. The Embassy stated that the Malaysian Embassy in Kathmandu remains in constant contact with Nepalese authorities, rescue teams, the Nepal Tourism Board, tour agencies, and major hospitals in Kathmandu to ensure the safety and whereabouts of Malaysian nationals.\n\nConsular officials at the Malaysian High Commission in New Delhi and the Malaysian Embassy in Beijing are currently handling matters related to the affected countries. Earlier today, it was reported that 55 Malaysian nationals are still untraceable following the sudden flood in Rasuwa, Nepal, last night. They include two bomb squad officers and 17 Malaysians on a religious pilgrimage to Tibet. At least 332 people have been confirmed dead after the Bhote Koshi River overflowed in Rasuwa, Nepal, last night, according to Kathmandu Post. Over 820 others, including hundreds of foreign tourists, are still unaccounted for as rescue and search operations continue.",
