  "summary": "A devastating glacier collapse and avalanche in Nepal led to a flash flood that killed over 600 people. An estimated 2,500 people were believed to be missing. A mother had thought she had lost her two sons in the disaster.\n\nHowever, her 8-year-old son survived alone in the forest by climbing trees. He was later rescued and airlifted to safety. This led to an emotional reunion with his mother, a story that has touched hearts across the country.\n\nA Winnipeg man on a pilgrimage in Nepal was among those missing, according to the Winnipeg Free Press. The disaster occurred along the Himalayan border, in a popular tourist region.",
