  "account": "Malaysia has decided to send its Special Rescue and Search Team (Smart) to Nepal to assist with the disaster relief operations following a devastating flash flood that has claimed at least 734 lives and left 2,498 people missing as of 9 a.m. Malaysian Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim announced this move to rescue affected Malaysian nationals and facilitate the distribution of aid by the Malaysian High Commission in Nepal. The National Security Council (MKN) and National Disaster Management Agency (Nadma) collaborated with the Malaysian Foreign Ministry to ensure the rapid deployment of the team. Malaysia will also contribute a sum of USD 1 million to support the victims and aid in post-disaster recovery efforts. To date, 55 Malaysian citizens remain unaccounted for in the aftermath of the severe flash flood, though the figure has not been officially confirmed by Nepalese authorities.",
