尼泊尔洪灾9天后 救援人员从水电隧道救出2名被困工人
尼泊尔救援人员周五成功从特里舒利3A水电站的地下隧道中救出两名工人，此时距离毁灭性洪灾席卷喜马拉雅地区已过去9天。根据尼泊尔议员什里·拉姆·纽潘的说法，搜救队在早上听到隧道内的声音后定位到了被困工人。图像显示一名救援人员背着一名满身泥土的工人，两侧有士兵协助。
据陆军发言人拉贾·拉姆·巴斯内特称，其中一名获救工人报告称仍有更多人活着被困在隧道内，应急队伍正在继续行动以救出其他人员。两人被确认为机械领班和机械主管。他们被送往加德满都的医院，根据总理办公室的声明，其中一人处于危急状态。
与此同时，更广泛的人道主义危机仍在继续，数千个被洪灾流离失所的家庭正在被改造为临时救济中心的学校寻求庇护和必需物资。致命洪灾已摧毁了该地区的许多房屋，使幸存者面临不确定的未来。
