Shafaqna English– Ten days after a Himalayan glacier collapse triggered catastrophic floods killing over 1,300, a Chinese man was rescued alive from a Nepal tunnel on Saturday. Lu Haitao was extracted from the Upper Trishuli-1 hydropower tunnel and showed mild hypothermia but stable vitals, making him the third survivor pulled from tunnels where up to 900 are feared trapped.
A day earlier, two others were rescued from a nearby tunnel. The disaster has left at least 1,344 dead and nearly 4,900 missing, including over 800 foreign nationals. China reported 31 deaths and 531 missing in Tibet. A Nepali woman was also rescued from her mud-submerged home on Saturday.
