KATHMANDU, Nepal (AP) — Rescue teams extracted survivors buried in mud and helicopters airlifted stranded individuals to safety as Nepal and China worked to recover from devastating flash floods that claimed nearly 600 lives and left 2,500 people missing. Rescue personnel rappelled into a severely damaged checkpoint on the Chinese side of the border, where they faced challenges due to thick layers of mud covering the area.
Nepal's army deployed to rescue over 100 people trapped in a tunnel at a hydropower plant in the country's worst-affected district.
