  "summary": "Korean rescue officials have dispatched a rapid response team to Nepal in search of nine nationals missing after catastrophic flash floods. The government team, comprising six employees from Doosan Enerbility Co. and three from Korea South-East Power Co., were working at a hydroelectric power plant construction site in Nepal's Rasuwa district when the floods struck on Wednesday. The team has been struggling to reach the flood sites due to Nepali authorities restricting foreign access for search and rescue operations, citing unpredictable weather and risks of further flooding. Two chartered helicopters, each carrying four officials, were dispatched from Kathmandu to scour the flood site for the missing workers.",
