  "summary": "A couple from British Columbia, Megha and Dhaval Rawla, are among 32 Canadians and permanent residents missing after severe floods and landslides hit Nepal. The disaster has resulted in at least 579 deaths and over 2,000 people unaccounted for, including hundreds of foreign tourists.\n\nRescuers are working to find survivors, battling through mud and facing the threat of new floods. According to Euronews, 586 bodies have been recovered so far, with some of the dead swept downstream as far away as India.\n\nThe Sydney Morning Herald and The Age report that at least 38 Australians are among those still missing, which is nearly 2,000 people in total. The family of Megha and Dhaval Rawla has travelled to Nepal to search for the missing couple.",
