  "summary": "Singapore families are anxiously awaiting news about nine relatives missing after the recent Nepal-Tibet floods, with one family expressing frustration over the lack of clear updates on rescue efforts. The missing include a Singaporean couple, Shubakshi and Sumit Rawla, who were on a Kailash Yatra pilgrimage near the Rasuwagadhi border area when a massive wall of ice, mud, and rock collapsed, triggering catastrophic flooding. The Rawlas were last seen by their daughter Parnika on Wednesday morning. Meanwhile, the tour operator Himalayan Glacier reports that 47 of its 54 clients remain unaccounted for, with seven staff members also missing. Singapore's Ministry of Foreign Affairs is working closely with Nepali and Chinese authorities to assist in the search and rescue efforts.",
