  "account": "On Saturday, emergency responders in Nepal managed to rescue a 64-year-old Nepali woman named Chandrika Shrestha, who had been buried under mud and debris for 10 days following massive flooding. The woman was found by a police team clearing the area and was airlifted to Kathmandu for medical treatment. According to Deputy Superintendent Iqbal Hawari, the woman's home was largely submerged in thick sludge, with only a small portion of it visible.\n\nThe flooding, which began on August 26, caused a tsunami-like wave of water and mud to sweep through the China-Nepal border after a glacial and rock collapse. As of now, 1,344 bodies have been recovered in Nepal, and around 5,000 people are still missing. In China, state media reported that 31 people had been killed, and 531 were still missing, bringing the total death toll to 1,375 with over 5,500 people still missing.",
