KATHMANDU — Rescuers in Nepal have pulled two workers to safety from a tunnel blocked by mud nine days after devastating floods struck the country.
The pair are currently receiving medical treatment as emergency crews continue their desperate search for additional survivors. The catastrophic flooding has claimed more than 1,200 lives and left over 5,000 people unaccounted for.
Authorities estimate that approximately 115 individuals are still trapped inside the collapsed tunnel, with hopes remaining slim for their survival.
Nine days is a miracle. Sending love to the rescuers and the families still waiting.
I can’t imagine the horror of being trapped in the dark for nearly two weeks. Truly heart-wrenching.
This is devastating news. How can anyone survive this long without food or water? I need answers.
