Nine out of ten South Koreans isolated by devastating floods in Nepal have been safely relocated, according to Seoul's foreign ministry. Only one individual remains at the affected site. The ten South Koreans, who worked for construction firm Doosan Enerbility Co., were initially staying at a temporary shelter after evacuating the area, along with around 200 foreign employees constructing a hydropower plant in Nepal's Rasuwa district.
Nine of the ten South Koreans were airlifted to a safer location by a Nepalese military helicopter earlier that day. The lone remaining South Korean, a Doosan site manager, remained at the construction site, awaiting the evacuation of all other workers, including local personnel. All ten individuals are reported to be in good health and are anticipated to proceed to Kathmandu the following day.
Separately, nine other South Koreans, comprising six Doosan employees and three employees from state-run Korea South-East Power Co., remain missing following a massive flash flood and mudslide that hit the region on Wednesday.
