Rescue workers in Nepal have pulled two people alive from the wreckage of a landslide-triggered flood, ten days after the disaster struck, according to AP News.
The survivors were extracted from debris in a rural area hit by the late-August floods, which buried homes and infrastructure under mud and rock. AP News reports that the rescue came as a relief to families who had feared the worst, with NBC News noting that relatives of one survivor expressed joy at the dramatic outcome.
The two individuals were found trapped in a house that had been completely buried, as detailed by The New York Times. One of the survivors was a woman, and separate reporting from Reuters confirms that a Chinese national was also rescued from a tunnel in the same disaster zone, highlighting the international dimension of those affected.
