Nine out of ten Koreans, who were initially stranded due to severe flooding in Nepal, have returned home, according to their company. Doosan Enerbility reported that the nine employees arrived in Korea around 2 p.m. following their rescue. They immediately underwent health checks, and none required hospitalization. The employees were physically and mentally exhausted from the sudden disaster and being stranded.
The remaining employee, the site manager, remained in Nepal to support ongoing search and rescue efforts. The ten employees were working on constructing a hydropower plant in Nepal's Rasuwa district when they were trapped by a massive flash flood and mudslide on Wednesday. Nine were airlifted to a safer location on Thursday, while the site manager evacuated the following day.
