  "summary": "The death toll from the floods in Nepal and China has reached 750. Nepal's disaster agency reports 734 deaths in Nepal, while Chinese authorities confirm 16 deaths in the Tibet region. More than 3,000 people are still missing, including 589 foreign nationals in Nepal and 546 people in Tibet, among them 261 foreigners, including 18 Americans.\n\nThe Nepalese disaster agency has issued a warning for fresh floods, advising residents around the Bhotekoshi River to remain on high alert as water levels rise. According to DW News, Tibetan authorities have warned of a new barrier lake forming behind landslide debris, and rescue teams near the Gyirong border port were moved due to the risk of the barrier bursting.\n\nThe floods have affected people from various countries, with the US having one of the largest numbers of citizens affected. The State Department reports 90 Americans missing, with five rescued so far. Hundreds of the missing are foreign nationals who were in the area to work, trek or take part in a pilgrimage to a sacred peak on the Tibetan side of the border.",
