Nepal flood rescue: 2 pulled alive from tunnel; 1,259 dead, 5,083 missing

Rescuers in Nepal extracted two survivors from a tunnel more than a week after flash floods, amid a confirmed death toll of 1,259 and 5,083 missing. The rescue suggests pockets of survival persist, but the scale of missing persons indicates the final casualty count will likely rise significantly. This is a major humanitarian disaster requiring sustained international response.
