  "summary": "The death toll from a flash flood in Nepal has reached 469, according to Nepal police. The flood occurred earlier this week and hundreds of people have been killed, with over 1,000 reported missing.\n\nThe flash flood swept into Nepal's Bhote Koshi River from the Chinese side, tearing through border settlements in Rasuwa district. According to The Korea Times, this is the second major disaster to hit this stretch of river in just over a year, with a previous flood on July 8, 2025, killing at least nine people and leaving 19 missing.\n\nSearch efforts are ongoing, with rescue teams facing challenges due to damaged roads and bridges. The Indian Express reports that Delhi authorities are coordinating with the Delhi Police to find out if any residents have gone missing during the flood. The Thaiger states that over 1,500 people remain missing across Nepal and Tibet, with at least 392 deaths confirmed in Nepal and three in Tibet.",
