  "summary": "The number of Australians missing in the Nepal floods has increased to 41. This could result in the worst loss of Australian life overseas since the Bali bombings, according to The Sydney Morning Herald.\n\nThousands of people remain missing after a deadly flash flood swept through the Himalayan region of Nepal and China. The number of missing has soared close to 3,000, with 633 bodies recovered. Many of those missing were working at hydropower project sites, including citizens of Nepal, India, South Korea, and China. According to the Hindustan Times, at least 934 people are trapped or out of contact at 11 hydropower project sites and tunnels in Nepal's Rasuwa and Nuwakot districts.\n\nRescue efforts are underway, with teams from South Korea, India, and other countries searching for missing nationals. Two chartered helicopters carrying South Korean rescue officials took off from Kathmandu to search for nine missing South Koreans, Yonhap News and The Korea Times reported. India has also sent assistance and a team of medical and tunnel experts to Nepal.",
