Rescuers in Nepal pulled two men alive from a tunnel near Nuwakot after nine days trapped by floodwaters, according to a military spokesperson. The men, aged 30 and 45, were rescued from a hydropower project site in the area heavily impacted by the floods. Both survivors reported that more people may still be alive inside the tunnel.
The floods, which hit Nuwakot and surrounding regions, caused widespread destruction, sweeping away debris, mud, and rubble. A 40-year-old house in the same area became a symbol of resilience, surviving the flood with its structure intact. The homeowner described the chaotic scene as water mixed with dirt and broken pieces, creating a surreal image of the disaster’s impact.
Authorities continue to search for missing individuals, with ongoing efforts to locate those still unaccounted for. The rescue operation highlights the challenges faced by emergency teams in the flooded terrain. The survival of the house and the men underscores the complex and ongoing recovery efforts in the region.
