> More than a week after devastating floods swept northern Nepal, rescue teams are conducting a difficult search for possible survivors at the Chilime hydropower plant. Army helicopters are repeatedly ferrying personnel and equipment from a small airstrip, while destroyed riverbanks and infrastructure make the operation highly dangerous. Crews are also trying to establish land access.
