  "summary": "Rescuers in Nepal and China are continuing to search for nearly 3,000 people missing after devastating flooding along the border. At least 682 bodies have been recovered in both countries, with 675 found in Nepal and seven in China, according to France 24.\n\nThe flooding, which occurred earlier in the week, engulfed entire villages in the Timure region of Nepal. Families of missing individuals, including two Metro Vancouver couples, are desperately searching for information about their loved ones, as reported by CBC Canada.\n\nThe Isha Foundation has been providing support and information to rescue teams, with teams stationed on both sides of the border. According to the Hindustan Times, Chinese authorities had temporarily suspended search and rescue operations at the Gyirong Port immigration centre due to the risk of a second flood, but have since resumed them. The immigration office complex at Gyirong Port has been completely washed away.",
