Nepal rescuers focus on hydropower tunnels two weeks after deadly floods
RTÉLO·NP · CN·2 days ago
Two weeks after a catastrophic avalanche and flood in Nepal, the official death toll exceeds 1,400 with over 5,000 missing. Rescuers have pulled three survivors from the Chilmila tunnel of a hydroelectric station, where a canteen provided sustenance; two survivors recount hallucinations and drinking muddy water. The event underscores the scale of the disaster and the ongoing rescue effort, with uncertainty over the number still trapped in other tunnels.
