  "account": "Over 600 victims have been recovered from the mudslide-affected areas in Nepal following a catastrophic flash flood that inundated the Bhote Koshi River on Wednesday. The disaster struck three districts: Rasuwa, Nuwakot, and Dhading. The National Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Authority reported that over 2,000 individuals were missing, with rescue and relief operations ongoing. The flood resulted in numerous casualties, and as days pass, the number of missing persons continues to rise. Blocked roads and inaccessible areas are hampering relief efforts. Nepal requires foreign aid in specialized and technical domains, though not in search and rescue, according to its foreign minister.",
