  "account": "A devastating flash flood in Nepal has claimed 579 lives, with the number of missing people soaring to nearly 2,000, according to the Nepali disaster relief agency. Among the missing are 517 foreign nationals. Rescue operations are in their fourth day, as difficult mountain terrain makes recovery efforts challenging. The death toll in Tibet, bordering Nepal, stands at five, while 558 people remain unaccounted for. The European Commission has pledged €2 million in immediate humanitarian aid, while the US has sent relief supplies to Nepal. The International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies has launched an emergency appeal for CHF 25 million to fund the immediate response. Canada, New Zealand, and India have also pledged support, with India sending a third flight carrying 10 tonnes of aid, 11 doctors, paramedics, and a reconnaissance team.",
