Nepal seeking to reach survivors in tunnel as risk of new floods rises
Asia-Pacific2 sources2 countries🔦 Under-reported15m ago
Nepali soldiers and emergency teams are engaged in rescue efforts to reach approximately 100 people trapped inside a tunnel, two days after deadly floods struck the region. The disaster has resulted in at least 472 recovered bodies following a tsunami-like surge of freezing water.
Operations faced heightened danger on Friday when authorities ordered rescuers to move to safety following reports that a debris dam had burst in neighboring Tibet. The resulting overflow and new flood risks also prompted China to suspend its own rescue operations in its hardest-hit zone in Tibet.
