  "summary": "The Korea Times reports that Korea has dispatched a second disaster relief team to Nepal to aid in flood recovery efforts. The eight-member Korea Disaster Relief Team (KDRT) departed for Kathmandu on Friday, arriving around 9 a.m. local time, carrying 4 tons of relief supplies worth 180 million won ($134,200). The supplies, donated by Korean companies and other entities, include tents, blankets, and clothing. The second contingent will focus on reconstruction and recovery efforts during its seven-day mission, consisting of officials from the foreign ministry, the National Fire Agency, KOICA, and the National Medical Center. The first 44-member KDRT contingent, dispatched on September 2 for a 10-day search-and-rescue mission, is set to return home on Saturday morning.",
