Rescues after 10 days
Rescuers in Nepal pulled a woman alive from a house in Nuwakot town on Saturday, ten days after floods hit the area, according to the Nepal army spokesperson. Officials said the woman was being airlifted to Kathmandu.
In a separate operation the same day, a Chinese national was rescued alive from a hydropower tunnel in Nepal's flood-hit Rasuwa district. The man, identified as Luhaitao, was trapped inside Audit Tunnel 4 of the Upper Trishuli 1 Hydropower Project, according to a report by The Hindu.
Nepal's army said a joint rescue team of Nepalese military personnel and South Korean disaster experts rescued the man from a 225-meter tunnel (about 738 feet) and that he was undergoing a health assessment. Images showed him being evacuated by helicopter, with an army medic checking on him during the flight. A photo released by Chinese state broadcaster CCTV showed two rescuers carrying the man out of the tunnel.
The rescue was also announced in a social media post by the country's prime minister's office, as reported by the Associated Press. The latest rescue brings the total to three workers pulled alive from the Trishuli hydropower project. Two Nepalese workers were rescued from a tunnel at the Trishuli 3A hydropower plant on Friday.
Flood aftermath
The floods, which struck on August 26, have killed at least 1,300 people, according to Nepal's disaster management agency, which said the floods were likely caused by a glacier collapse. More than 5,000 people remain missing, the agency reported. The Hindu reported that the death toll rose to 1,344 on Saturday, with police saying rescue teams continued to search for around 4,900 people who remain missing.
Authorities said about 900 workers are missing from 12 hydropower projects across Nepal, with roughly 500 believed to be trapped in various tunnels. The Nepali Army said a joint rescue team comprising the Nepali Army and foreign rescuers rescued Luhaitao alive from inside a tunnel at the Upper Trishuli-1 Hydropower Project.
