  "account": "A month has passed since devastating floods struck parts of Nepal, leaving thousands displaced and rescuers still searching for the missing, including those believed trapped in six hydropower project tunnels. Prime Minister Balendra Shah addressed the United Nations General Assembly, emphasizing the flood as a warning about climate risks in the Himalayan region. The disaster has left the government facing a long and costly recovery, with families struggling to cope with the loss of loved ones, homes, and livelihoods. So far, 1,453 bodies have been recovered, but 5,644 people remain missing. Authorities are using DNA testing to identify the victims, with international experts assisting in the process. As the recovery efforts continue, the government estimates the cost to be around $4.77 billion.",
