  "summary": "Families of Australians missing in China after the Nepal-Tibet floods are growing increasingly concerned, as the search and rescue operations continue to face numerous challenges. The border between China and Nepal has complicated the search efforts, making it difficult to locate the missing tourists, many of whom were part of a tour group on their way to the revered Mount Kailash. One family, the Patels, have flown from New South Wales to Nepal to search for their wife Bhavin Patel, who is believed to be alive based on her phone signal data. They are desperately seeking assistance from both the Chinese government and the Australian government to help bring her home.",
