  "summary": "The ongoing helicopter search for 17 Malaysians missing since flash floods hit Nepal’s Rasuwa district has found no trace of the group, their belongings or the six vehicles they were travelling in, according to the Malay Mail. The search team, led by Fishtail Tours & Travels representative Roshan Panday, conducted four passes over the area where the vehicles were swept away, but found nothing. The force of the floodwaters left no visible remains of the buildings, and the team also checked a nearby forest and a 30km stretch downstream, but found nothing believed to belong to the missing group. Despite the extensive search efforts, including checks in hospitals and among bodies recovered from the disaster, none have been positively identified as members of the group. The search continues as the group has remained uncontactable since the floods struck.",
