In Nepal, rescuers have successfully pulled a Chinese hydropower worker and a Nepali woman from the aftermath of catastrophic flooding that has left thousands missing. Lu Haitao and Chandika Kumari Shrestha were among the latest survivors, with Lu being freed from a flooded tunnel at a hydropower plant in Rasuwa district and Shrestha rescued from her collapsed home in the neighbouring district of Nuwakot.
Both had been trapped since a glacier collapse on August 26, unleashing a torrent of water, rock, and ice. The rescues have renewed hope for finding more people alive in the region's flooded tunnels.
