Nepal rescues two workers after floods
Nepal rescue teams succeeded after nine days of heavy flooding that struck the area on August 26th to extract two workers alive from a tunnel buried in mud and debris in the northern part of the country. Authorities highlighted that the rescue was made possible through efforts by both international and local teams, citing the survivors Sanjay Shah and Khyber Maharjan, who were brought out fully conscious after being trapped by the flood at the Trishuli-3 Dam construction site. Officials indicated that relief operations are still underway amid challenging geographical and climatic conditions, with ongoing digging and blasting efforts to rescue hundreds of missing workers trapped at hydroelectric project sites, involving teams from China, India, and South Korea. Despite progress, rescue efforts remain slow, with hundreds of fatalities and more than 5,600 people reported missing. Authorities described the rescue of the two living workers as a "miracle."
