Rescuers in Nepal pulled a Chinese national and a Nepali woman alive on Saturday, 10 days after devastating floods struck the country, officials said, even as the death toll continued to climb and hundreds remained trapped in hydropower tunnels.
The Chinese man was rescued from a hydropower tunnel, according to a social media post by the prime minister's office, taking the total number of workers pulled alive from the Trishuli hydropower project to three. Two Nepali workers had earlier been rescued from a tunnel at the Trishuli 3A hydropower plant on Friday.
