  "summary": "Rescuers in Nepal are racing against time to find survivors of a glacial flood that has killed at least 939 people and left nearly 4,500 missing. The disaster occurred when a glacier collapsed in the Himalayan border region between Nepal and China, causing tsunami-like floods that swept through villages and towns.\n\nIn Kathmandu, visitors are posting pictures of their loved ones outside a hospital, hoping someone will recognise the face and say they are alive. The New Straits Times reports that unidentified bodies are being buried in mass graves after DNA sampling.\n\nThe Canadian government has deployed 10 officials to Nepal to support Canadians affected by the flooding, including a member of the RCMP. According to CityNews, 30 Canadians and permanent residents remain missing. The federal government has pledged $5 million in urgent humanitarian aid to support Nepal.",
