  "summary": "Rescue efforts have resumed in Nepal and Tibet after a threat from a lake eased. The death toll from the floods has reached 579. A tour operator, Gopal Thapa, is searching for 55 people, including his 34-year-old brother, who were travelling with his company when the disaster occurred. They were near the Nepal-China border, preparing to continue towards Mount Kailash.\n\nAccording to The Korea Times, over 2,400 people are missing, and 584 bodies have been recovered so far. Some of the dead have been swept downstream as far as India. The missing include trekkers and pilgrims, as well as 933 hydropower workers. Relatives are searching for their loved ones in hospitals in Nepal's capital.\n\nThe floods occurred when a glacial lake collapsed, triggering a vast flood. The disaster is the deadliest in Nepal since a 2015 earthquake. Thirty-eight Australians remain unaccounted for.",
