  "summary": "The death toll from the Nepal floods has reached 669, with over 2,000 people still missing. Rescue teams are continuing to search for survivors in the badly affected areas. According to the Daily Times, more than 500 foreign nationals are among those still missing.\n\nThe floods, which occurred near the border with China, have caused widespread destruction and disruption. A group of trekkers, including several former colleagues from Oracle's early days in India, were among those who went missing, The Indian Express reported. The group was led by Dr Milind P Chitley, a veteran mountaineer.\n\nThe National Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Authority reported a death toll of 675, with 2,426 people missing, including 517 foreigners, 933 workers on hydropower projects, 45 Nepali Army soldiers, 40 police officers, and 19 immigration and customs officers, according to the New Straits Times. In India, seven bodies were recovered from rivers flowing from Nepal, but are not included in the toll.",
