Flooding in Nepal has killed 955 people, with debris blocking nine hydropower tunnels under construction in Rasuwa and Nuwakot districts, trapping over 900 workers from Nepal, South Korea, and China. The underground nature of the emergency is complicating rescue efforts. This is a developing humanitarian crisis with significant infrastructure and multinational worker implications.
