'I don't know if I'm dreaming': Rebuilding lives after Nepal's devastating floods

Rescuers in Nepal have pulled several people alive from tunnels and homes 10 days after devastating floods hit the country. A Chinese national was rescued from a 225-meter hydropower tunnel, according to the country's prime minister's office. This brings the total to three workers pulled alive from the Trishuli hydropower project, including two Nepalese workers who were rescued from a tunnel at the Trishuli 3A hydropower plant on Friday.

The rescue efforts have focused on 12 hydropower projects across Nepal, where about 900 workers are missing and roughly 500 are believed to be trapped in various tunnels. According to The Mainichi, at least 1,300 people were killed in the floods, which were likely caused by a glacier collapse, and more than 5,000 remain missing.

In addition to the tunnel rescues, a woman was rescued alive from a house in flood-hit Nuwakot town, according to Nepal's army spokesperson. She was being airlifted to Kathmandu. Rescue teams from India, China, South Korea, and the United States have been searching through debris, damaged structures, and tunnels at the projects, hoping to find survivors. A school in Nepal's remote Rasuwa district has been converted into a temporary shelter for those displaced by the floods.
