  "account": "The Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MFA) of Singapore announced on August 28 that it will contribute US$100,000 to the Singapore Red Cross (SRC) fundraising appeal for flood victims in Nepal and China. The SRC had already raised over S$150,000 from more than 900 donors by 6 pm on the same day. More than 1,000 people, including nine Singaporeans, remain missing due to the floods. Despite Nepal's decision against foreign search-and-rescue teams, the country plans to seek support for reconstruction efforts. Singapore's contribution aims to support relief work through the Red Cross and Red Crescent Movement, with donations focusing on urgent needs such as clean water, shelter, and medical supplies. The initiative follows a broader trend of international support, with the United States, the United Kingdom, the World Bank, and South Korea also pledging financial assistance for the disaster relief efforts.",
