Rescuers in Nepal pull 2 people alive from the debris 10 days after devastating floods
KATHMANDU, Nepal (AP) -- Rescuers in Nepal pulled out a Chinese man and a woman in separate operations Saturday, 10 days after devastating floods hit
KATHMANDU, Nepal (AP) -- Ten days after catastrophic floods struck Nepal, rescue teams successfully pulled two individuals to safety. The first was a Chinese man, Lu Haitao, who was rescued from a 225-meter-long hydropower tunnel. He was in stable condition after undergoing a health assessment, and was taken to a hospital via helicopter.
His sister expressed her delight upon learning of his rescue, describing it as pure luck. The second individual rescued was a Nepalese woman from Nuwakot town, who was airlifted to Kathmandu and is receiving treatment. The devastating floods, believed to be caused by a glacier collapse, have claimed over 1,300 lives and left more than 5,000 people missing.
Specialized rescue teams from India, China, South Korea, and the United States have been combing through debris and tunnels in 12 hydropower projects to find survivors.
