The Nepali army announced on September 4 that it had rescued two workers who were trapped inside a hydropower tunnel, a development that raises hopes for the recovery of more than a dozen additional people believed to be still confined within the same structure. The two men were airlifted to a hospital in Kathmandu for medical treatment following their extraction.
The rescue comes amid the ongoing humanitarian crisis caused by recent floods, which have claimed the lives of more than 1,200 individuals and left over 5,000 people unaccounted for. Authorities continue search and relief operations, emphasizing that the successful tunnel rescue underscores the broader effort to locate and assist those still missing.
