  "summary": "A catastrophic flood in Nepal and Tibet has left a death toll of 750, with 3,044 people still missing, according to authorities. Rescue efforts have been hampered by bad weather and concerns over a potential new lake formed by a mudslide that could trigger further flooding downstream. The Red Cross estimates that over 90,000 people have been affected by the disaster, which China has linked to the impacts of climate change. China's Foreign Minister Wang Yi spoke with his Nepalese counterpart about the severity of the disaster, describing it as the most significant cross-border catastrophe in recent years. The rescue operations are now focused on hundreds of people believed to be trapped in tunnels at hydropower plants, with Nepal's disaster authority reporting 734 deaths, 2,498 missing, and 7,514 rescued. Both Nepal and China are working together to identify missing citizens and foreign nationals, as well as strengthening cooperation in disaster prevention and mitigation, and addressing the long-term effects of climate change.",
