Rescuers Continue Grim Search for Nepal Flood Survivor
The men were flown to a military hospital after rescuers heard voices and intensified searches for hundreds still missing.
- On Friday, the Nepal Army rescued two hydropower workers, mechanical foreman Sanjay Sah and mechanical supervisor Kabir Maharjan, from the debris-filled Trishuli-3A Hydropower Project tunnel after nine days trapped underground.
- The pair were among hundreds of workers missing since a tsunami-like wall of water and mud swept the China-Nepal border following a vast glacial and rock collapse on August 26.
- Rescuers stepped up efforts after hearing voices near the tunnel and hailed the survival as a "miracle," though one survivor suffered from mild hypothermia upon extraction.
- Both survivors are in stable condition at a military hospital in Kathmandu, while the flooding disaster's death toll has reached 1,294, with 5,053 people missing.
- Prime Minister Balendra Shah promised "safe and comfortable accommodation" for displaced citizens, while international teams from India, China, and South Korea assist the Nepal Army in ongoing search operations.
