  "summary": "A catastrophic flood on the China-Nepal border has resulted in over 1,000 deaths. The disaster began with a glacial collapse high in the Himalayas, sending large amounts of rock, ice, and meltwater into valleys below and triggering powerful floods downstream.\n\nAccording to the disaster authority, at least 987 people have been killed in Nepal, while Chinese state media reported 16 deaths in Tibet, bringing the total toll to 1,003. The number of missing in Nepal has dropped to 3,916.\n\nRescue teams are searching for hundreds of individuals still unaccounted for, with many possibly trapped in hydropower tunnels. The devastating surge of water and debris has left the border region reeling.",
