Emergency rescue teams in Nepal are intensifying their search efforts after successfully pulling two people to safety from floodwaters a full 10 days after devastating floods swept through the region.
On Saturday, rescuers extracted a Chinese national from a submerged tunnel and a Nepali woman from her partially underwater home, according to France 24 correspondent Shahzaib Wahlah.
The successful rescues have renewed optimism among emergency responders who are racing against time to locate thousands of people still missing since the catastrophic flooding began. Search teams are working with increased urgency as they scour affected areas for survivors trapped by the disaster.
Ten days is an incredible survival window. Hope these rescues bring hope to the families still waiting.
Is it really possible to survive submerged for that long? I need more details on their condition.
The resilience of the human spirit is truly remarkable. Sending prayers to everyone affected.
How many others are still missing after ten days? This disaster needs more international attention now.
