Emergency teams continue searching for thousands of individuals still unaccounted for following the August 26 disaster. Technology such as drone mapping and satellite data has aided search efforts in difficult areas like flooded hydropower tunnels, where workers previously spent nine days trapped underground before extraction. The floods were triggered by a glacial and rock collapse on the China-Nepal border.Why it mattersThe August 26 Two workers rescued from Nepal hydropower tunnel nine days after floodshttps://www.live-feeds.com/feed/drones-helped-find-people-after-nepal-floods-but-the-search-inside-hydropower-tunnels-is-a-challengehttps://www.live-feeds.com/feed/drones-helped-find-people-after-nepal-floods-but-the-search-inside-hydropower-tunnels-is-a-challenge#u57221Fri, 04 Sep 2026 18:35:27 +0000Rescuers pulled two workers alive from a hydropower tunnel nine days after catastrophic floods hit Nepal. This rescue increases hope for a dozen other individuals believed to be trapped in similar structures. Local authorities report that roughly 500 workers remain trapped in tunnels across 12 hydropower projects, while approximately 900 workers in total are missing. The disaster began on August 26 when a glacial and rock collapse on the China-Nepal border sent a wall of mud and debris through the region.Why it mattersPrevious reports indicated that drones were effective for hillside searches Nepal death toll exceeds 1,000 as hydropower tunnel searches continuehttps://www.live-feeds.com/feed/drones-helped-find-people-after-nepal-floods-but-the-search-inside-hydropower-tunnels-is-a-challengehttps://www.live-feeds.com/feed/drones-helped-find-people-after-nepal-floods-but-the-search-inside-hydropower-tunnels-is-a-challenge#u55412Thu, 03 Sep 2026 09:07:04 +0000Over 1,000 people have died following catastrophic flash floods and a debris avalanche in Nepal, with 4,462 individuals still missing. Rescue efforts are currently focused on 12 hydropower projects where at least 900 workers are unaccounted for. While drones have successfully located stranded people on hillsides, rescuers face significant challenges searching inside power plant tunnels. Authorities believe dozens of workers trapped in these tunnels may still be alive, though hopes for other survivors are fading a week after the disaster.Why it mattersThe disaster was triggered by a glacier col
