  "summary": "The number of Australians missing in the floods in Nepal has increased to 41. This could result in the worst loss of Australian life overseas since the Bali bombings, according to The Age and The Sydney Morning Herald.\n\nThousands of people are missing after a deadly flash flood swept through the Himalayan region of Nepal. The Japan News by The Yomiuri Shimbun reports that the number of missing soared close to 3,000, with 633 bodies recovered. Many of those missing were workers at hydropower project sites.\n\nThe Hindustan Times reports that at least 934 people are trapped or out of contact at 11 hydropower project sites and tunnels in Nepal's Rasuwa and Nuwakot districts. The trapped or missing workers include citizens of Nepal, India, South Korea and China. South Korea's foreign ministry said nine nationals remain missing, including six employees of Doosan Enerbility Co. and three of Korea South-East Power Co.",
