A Chinese national is rescued alive from a hydropower tunnel in Nepal about 10 days after catastrophic flooding, according to the Nepali Army and other officials. The man is pulled from roughly 225 metres inside the Upper Trishuli-1 tunnel in Rasuwa district and is reported to be undergoing a health assessment after being taken from the site.
The rescue follows earlier live recoveries from the Trishuli hydropower area, with reports noting that two Nepali workers were rescued alive on Friday from a separate tunnel at the Trishuli 3A hydropower plant. Outlets describe ongoing search-and-rescue efforts at multiple hydropower sites and refer to the large number of workers missing across several projects that were damaged or blocked by debris.
Some coverage focuses on the specific tunnel and rescue distance, while others highlight the wider disaster context, including the cause of the flooding linked to a glacial and rock collapse near the China–Nepal border, the scale of casualties and missing people, and the continued international assistance. Korea Times also reports that a woman was rescued alive from a house in Nuwakot on the same day, reflecting separate incidents beyond the tunnel recovery.
