  "summary": "Flash floods have caused widespread destruction in Nepal and Tibet, with a rising death toll and many people still missing. According to Nepal's National Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Authority, at least 626 deaths have been confirmed. Over 2,400 people remain missing in Nepal, with 2,500 reported missing across both Nepal and Tibet, as per NPR.\n\nThe Indian Ministry of External Affairs reported that 287 Indian nationals and 128 others of Indian origin remain missing. So far, 88 Indian nationals have been rescued, with four more rescued from a hydropower project in Rasuwa district on Saturday, identified as Ripu Kumar, Chaneshwar Narzary, Kripa Shankar, and Mohammed Minhajuddin. Additionally, 120 Indian nationals crossed into Nepal from China on Saturday.\n\nIndia is providing assistance to Nepal, including forensic teams for DNA analysis and technical teams for tunnel rescue operations. Six forensic expert teams from India are set to land in Kathmandu to assist in the analysis of DNA samples for identification of mortal remains. Nepal initially declined foreign rescue teams to prioritize its own forces. According to Euronews, 622 tourists are still out of communication, with 473 being foreign tourists.",
