Two, Including Chinese Worker, Rescued Alive from Rubble in Nepal
Amid rescue operations that have been underway for several days through mud and debris in Nepal, two remarkable rescues were carried out on Saturday. A 64-year-old woman and a Chinese national were pulled out alive, surviving against the odds. With these rescues, the number of people found alive in recent days has risen to four.
Most recently, a Chinese worker was rescued alive from a tunnel connected to the Trishuli Hydropower Project. The worker had been trapped inside the 225-metre-long tunnel.
According to the Nepal Army, the worker was rescued in a joint operation involving the Nepal Army and disaster response experts from South Korea. He was taken for a medical examination after being rescued.
Notably, this was the third successful rescue operation at the Trishuli Hydropower Project site. On Friday, two Nepali workers were rescued alive from a tunnel at the Trishuli-3A Hydropower Project.
Amid death and destruction, these successful rescue operations have brought a new ray of hope to Nepal.
