  "account": "A woman living in Nova Scotia has lost hundreds of relatives, friends, and neighbors in the deadly flash floods that struck Nepal on August 26. Ang Faulkner, who grew up in one of the affected districts of Rasuwa, is struggling to cope with the tragedy. She says she has been unable to eat or sleep since she heard the news. Faulkner's father and her cousin's wife, who ran a hotel in Syabrubesi, are among those who are presumed dead. Her cousin narrowly survived the flood, witnessing his wife being washed away by a massive wave. Faulkner's aunt and uncle, who also ran a hotel in Syabrubesi, are still missing. She believes that the flooding was triggered by a glacial collapse. The death toll in Nepal has surpassed 1,200, with more than 4,000 still missing. Faulkner emphasizes the need for support for the families affected by the disaster, as many of the victims were adults who had their children taken away to boarding schools in Kathmandu.",
