Nepal Survivors Pulled Alive From Ruined Tunnels After 8 Days

Kathmandu – Rescuers in Nepal have pulled several survivors out of collapsed tunnels, more than a week after catastrophic flooding and landslides trapped them underground. The survivors were extracted from the debris late Tuesday. They had been stuck since severe monsoon rains triggered massive earth movements that buried roads and mountain passages. Emergency teams worked through unstable rock and mud to reach the trapped individuals. Officials confirmed the rescue operation is ongoing, but did not specify the exact number of people saved or their current medical condition. The disaster, caused by relentless rainfall, has devastated large parts of the country. Landslides severed key highways and buried entire sections of tunnels used for transport. Rescue efforts remain dangerous. Aftershocks and fresh rainfall threaten to collapse remaining unstable structures. Authorities have not released the total death toll linked to the flooding, but the focus remains on finding more survivors in the rubble.
