  "summary": "Two Australians previously reported missing have been found safe in Nepal. The number of Australians missing has been revised down to 36.\n\nIn a positive development, two Nepali hydropower workers, Sanjay Sah and Kabir Maharjan, have been rescued alive from a tunnel linked to the Upper Trishuli 3A Hydropower Station. According to The National UAE, Sah, a mechanical foreman, and Maharjan, a mechanical supervisor, were pulled out of the tunnel and taken to a hospital in Kathmandu. Maharjan is unable to move his hands and legs, while Sah's injuries are not severe.\n\nThe rescue efforts are ongoing, with thousands still missing and displaced after the glacial and mountain collapse on the China-Nepal border, which has killed over 1,200 people. According to The Korea Times, at least 900 workers are missing from hydropower projects, with around 500 believed to be inside tunnels. Rescue teams are facing challenges due to flooding, debris, and damaged infrastructure.",
