  "account": "Singapore has pledged to send humanitarian aid to Nepal following severe flash floods near the Nepal-China border. The Foreign Ministry announced that Singapore Police Force officers specializing in Disaster Victim Identification will be deployed at Nepal's request, along with civilian and SAF supplies. Foreign Minister Dr Vivian Balakrishnan discussed this offer of assistance during a phone call with his Nepalese counterpart, Shisir Khanal. Singapore has already contributed US$100,000 (RM403,000) to the Singapore Red Cross public fundraising appeal for relief efforts in Nepal, with the charity raising about S$1 million (RM3.16 million) so far. The Crisis Response Team from Singapore has been providing consular assistance to affected Singaporeans in Nepal since August 27. The death toll from the devastating floods and mudslides has risen to at least 919, with nearly 4,800 people still missing, including 853 foreigners, according to Anadolu Ajansi.",
