  "summary": "Rescue efforts are ongoing in Nepal and China after a deadly flash flood swept through the Himalayan region. The disaster has resulted in a significant number of casualties and missing persons. According to the latest figures, 633 bodies have been recovered, and nearly 3,000 people are still missing.\n\nThe flood, which occurred on Wednesday, August 26, has affected both Nepal and Tibet. In Nepal, the disaster agency reports 626 deaths and 2,426 people missing, although previous figures were 579 dead and 1,924 missing. In Tibet, Chinese authorities have reported seven deaths and 558 people missing.\n\nA group of 77 pilgrims associated with the Isha Foundation, led by Sadhguru, remain untraceable. The group was returning from the Kailash Mansarovar pilgrimage when the flood struck. Rescue teams are working to locate them, but so far, there has been no update on their whereabouts. A 97-year-old woman was rescued alive from the wreckage and is recovering in hospital. Over 3,700 people have been rescued in Nepal so far.",
