  "account": "At least 934 individuals remain trapped or unaccounted for at 11 hydropower sites and tunnels in Nepal's Rasuwa and Nuwakot districts, following the flash floods on Wednesday. The victims comprise citizens from various countries including Nepal, India, South Korea, and China. Energy ministry officials suspect the actual number could surpass 1,000 due to the involvement of unregistered workers at construction sites. India has provided its third aid flight with a team of medical and tunnel experts, arriving on Friday night. The Upper Trishuli 1 (243 MW) hydropower project has seen only 350 of the 576 missing individuals rescued, while the Rasuwagadi Hydropower project (111 MW) has 93 people missing, with 3 workers managing to escape. The operation, involving at least 15 helicopters and 84 trained personnel from Nepal's army, is ongoing at multiple sites.",
