Nepal flood survivor says rescue efforts must continue
For 10 days, Nepali hydropower worker Sanjay Sah survived in darkness inside a flooded tunnel. He drank muddy water and lost all sense of time as he prayed for rescue. When a disaster response team finally pulled him to safety on September 4, Sah's first question showed how deeply the ordeal had disoriented him. "When I was rescued I first asked, how many days has it been?" said Sah, aged 30, in an interview on Sunday while on his way back home in Saptari district.
