  "account": "A week after catastrophic floods swept through Nepal, the death toll has risen to 1,000, with at least 639 people still trapped in several hydropower stations. Prime Minister Balendra Shah announced that over 11,000 people have been rescued, while thousands more have lost their homes, families and property. Rescue teams have been reaching remote areas, building temporary bridges and digging through the ruins to save workers. China and South Korea are among the countries providing aid, with South Korea sending a 44-member emergency relief team. Nepal has rejected general search and rescue efforts but needs specialized services like life-detecting machines and Bailey bridges. The disaster highlights the risks posed by climate change in the Himalayan region.",
  "summary": "At least 639 people remain stuck in several devastated hydropower stations that have become the focus of rescue efforts, the country's disaster management authority said on Tuesday.",
