Rescue efforts in Nepal target trapped tunnel workers
The article discusses the rescue efforts in Nepal following a devastating glacial flood that led to the collapse of several hydropower projects along the border with China. The team’s efforts are focused on finding workers trapped inside three tunnels, particularly at the Chimaling project. Officials confirmed that approximately 121 individuals are missing and may be inside the tunnels. Rescue operations include supplying oxygen to the tunnels and opening new passages, as the search for survivors continues amid concerns over a rising death toll. To date, the disaster has resulted in over 1,399 deaths and more than 5,400 people reported missing. Climate change has been blamed for the recurrence of such disasters, with the Nepali government reaffirming its commitment to rescuing those trapped and ensuring a swift response.
