  3. Two Workers Rescued From Nepal Tunnel After Flash Flood

    Rescuers pulled two workers alive from a hydropower tunnel in Nepal nine days after a deadly flash flood trapped them. Nepal's Army confirmed the operation at the Trishuli 3A construction site on Friday, sharing images of the scene. Television footage captured the moment a helicopter transported the survivors for medical treatment, moving them on stretchers into waiting ambulances. The breakthrough arrives while broader rescue efforts continue across the region following the disaster.

    Why it matters

    The flash flood struck amid severe weather affecting Nepal and Tibet, leaving widespread devastation and numerous people missing. Engineers have coordinated rescue efforts through digital channels, racing against the clock as search operations enter a critical phase. Hydropower construction sites frequently present complex hazards during extreme weather events, complicating initial access for emergency responders.

    What is confirmed

    • Two people were rescued from a hydropower tunnel more than a week after a flash flood.
    • The rescue occurred nine days after the disaster at the Trishuli 3A construction site, according to Nepal's Army.
    • A helicopter carried the rescued men for medical treatment, where they were placed on stretchers into waiting ambulances.

    Still unconfirmed

    • Nearly 4,000 people remain missing across the broader disaster zone following the floods.

    • Official updates on the physical condition of the two rescued workers
    • Progress reports on ongoing search and rescue operations for other missing individuals
