A woman is rescued from a house and a man is rescued from a tunnel, as teams from across the world work to find those trapped follow the floods in Nepal.
Two people have been rescued alive, 10 days after devastating floods hit Nepal. A 64-year-old Nepali woman, Chandika Kumari Shrestha, was found semi-conscious on the upper floor of a four-storey house buried under debris in Betrawati, Nuwakot district, according to The Times of India. Her family had given up hope and started symbolic funeral rites.
A Chinese national, Lu Haitao, was pulled out alive from a 225-metre tunnel at the Upper Trishuli-1 Hydropower Project in Rasuwa. The Qatar Tribune reported that he had no visible injuries but showed signs of mild hypothermia.
More than 1,300 people have been killed in the floods, with over 4,800 still missing, including 583 foreign nationals. Rescuers continue to search for those trapped, with efforts being made to reach an estimated 900 people stuck in tunnels.
