  "account": "Nepal's death toll from flash floods and landslides along the Nepal-Tibet border has climbed to 392, with over 1,400 people still missing. Rescue teams battle through mud and debris in search of survivors, as the death count includes foreign tourists and Hindu pilgrims heading to Mount Kailash. The USGS attributes the disaster to a glacial collapse, a risk exacerbated by climate change. Nepal's Prime Minister Balendra Shah vowed to provide immediate relief and open blocked roads. China has mobilized 800 emergency workers and sniffer dogs to aid in the rescue efforts. Buddhist leader the Dalai Lama has pledged to pray for the victims. Fears persist of further flooding due to debris blocking the Nepal-China border river.",
  "summary": "Experts warned of further floods after a tsunami-like wall of freezing water and mud engulfed towns, destroyed homes, bridges and dams, and swept away vehicles and people.",
