Rescuers in Nepal successfully recovered a Chinese worker and a Nepali woman from separate locations on Saturday, marking 10 days since devastating floods ravaged the Himalayan valleys. Lu Haitao, the Chinese national, was extracted from a tunnel at the Upper Trishuli-1 Hydropower Project in Rasuwa district by a joint rescue effort involving Nepal's army and South Korean experts.
He was airlifted to Kathmandu for medical attention, suffering from mild hypothermia and no visible injuries. Just hours later, a 64-year-old woman, Chandika Kumari Shrestha, was found alive inside her home in Nuwakot district, having been partially submerged in thick mud. Images from Nepal's army showed her being rescued from the mud before being airlifted to Kathmandu for treatment.
These rescues sparked renewed hope that more people might still be alive beneath the debris or within blocked tunnels.
