Nepal Flood Search Continues as Thousands Remain Missing After Disaster

Rescue Teams Search Hydropower Tunnels and Himalayan Valleys

KATHMANDU, Nepal — International search and rescue teams in Nepal continue urgent operations following catastrophic flooding and landslides that have claimed more than 1,300 lives across Nepal and neighboring Tibet.

The disaster, triggered by a massive glacial lake outburst and relentless monsoon rainfall, destroyed critical Himalayan infrastructure, wiping out roads, bridges, and hydroelectric power stations.

Miracle Rescue Reported in Submerged Hydroelectric Tunnel

Emergency crews achieved a major breakthrough after rescuing two hydropower workers who survived nine days trapped inside an air pocket within a flooded underground tunnel at the Upper Trishuli 3A project site.

Nepalese authorities have appealed for urgent international aid, requesting heavy debris-clearing equipment, temporary bridging structures, and medical supplies as search efforts expand into remote mountain districts.
