KATHMANDU - A Chinese national and a Nepali woman were rescued from tunnels 10 days after a catastrophic flood in Nepal, authorities announced on Saturday. Lu Haitao, 48, was pulled alive from a 225-meter tunnel at the Upper Trishuli-1 Hydropower Project, where rescue teams believe around 900 people could be trapped. He was found with no visible injuries but showed signs of mild hypothermia.
Emergency medical care was administered to him en route to an army hospital, where he appeared exhausted and disoriented. The Nepali army shared footage of Lu receiving medical attention.
Two other survivors were rescued on Friday from separate tunnels at the Upper Trishuli 3A Hydropower Station. Lu Haitao's rescue was the third person pulled alive from the tunnels, where authorities estimate about 900 people remain trapped. The disaster has claimed the lives of at least 1,344 people, with 4,887 still missing, including 583 foreigners, most of them pilgrims and trekkers. As of September 4, China reported 31 deaths and 531 missing in Tibet due to the floods.
