WorldNepal-Tibet disaster: Recent rescues renew hopes of finding more people alive

Rescue teams in Nepal are continuing their search for survivors in areas devastated by last month’s floods, despite harsh terrain and weather. The discovery of a Chinese national in a hydropower tunnel on Sep 5 encouraged rescuers, but mud, sludge and debris are still obstructing operations at damaged hydropower projects. A specialist Singaporean team is helping with the search.
