Two people rescued from tunnel in Nepal after devastating floods
After nine days of being missing, two people were rescued alive from a tunnel in Nepal, where they were trapped following recent floods that devastated thousands of lives.
In Nepal, two people were rescued alive from a tunnel at the Trishuli-3A hydropower plant last Friday. This occurred nine days after devastating floods hit the area, causing significant destruction along the border between Nepal and Tibet.
According to reports from Nepalese ministers, the two men were freed from their perilous situation. They were working at the hydropower plant when they became trapped.
The floods have so far claimed more than 1,280 lives, with nearly 5,700 people still unaccounted for, including three Belgian tourists. This has prompted a large mobilization of emergency services.
