Story summary

On August 26, a catastrophic flood struck the Nepal-Tibet region after a glacier collapsed in Nepal, resulting in over 1,300 deaths and leaving more than 5,500 people missing. Ten days later, on September 5, rescuers pulled out two survivors: Luhaitao, a Chinese man from a hydropower tunnel in Rasuwa district, and Chandrika Shrestha, a 64-year-old Nepali woman rescued from her home in Nuwakot district. Both were airlifted for medical treatment. The rescue operations continue amid immense challenges, with the UN launching an appeal for $US50 million to help over 84,000 affected individuals.
