  "summary": "The Korea Times reports that Korea will dispatch a second disaster relief team to Nepal this week to assist in the country's transition from search and rescue operations to recovery efforts following devastating floods. The eight-member Korea Disaster Relief Team (KDRT) will depart aboard a KC-330 military transport aircraft and arrive in Nepal on Friday. The team, consisting of officials from the ministry, firefighters, Korea International Cooperation Agency (KOICA) personnel, and medical staff, will primarily focus on reconstruction and recovery operations during its seven-day mission. The disaster occurred on August 26 when nine Koreans, including six employees of Doosan Enerbility and three from Korea South-East Power, were working at a hydropower plant construction site and were swept away by massive floods and landslides in Rasuwa District, near the Nepal-Tibet border.",
