  "account": "The death toll from a mudslide in Tibet on the China-Nepal border has increased to 31 people, according to Beijing's state media. As of 6pm on September 4, 531 individuals remain unaccounted for. The disaster, which occurred nine days ago, has resulted in 31 fatalities and left 531 people missing, Xinhua reported. The incident was triggered when a mass of ice and rock dislodged from the north face of Nepal's Langtang Lirung mountain, causing a massive surge of debris to cascade down the valley. Chinese authorities have maintained strict control over media access to the affected region in Tibet, limiting the availability of information. State media have not disclosed the names of the missing individuals nor published extensive video footage of the families' reactions.",
  "summary": "BEIJING: The death toll from a mudslide in Tibet on the China-Nepal border last week rose from 21 to 31 people, Beijing’s state media said Friday, with 531 people still missing.",
