A Chinese national has been found alive and rescued from a tunnel in Nepal, 10 days after a glacier collapse, rocks and mud caused devastating floods in a Himalayan valley.

The disaster killed more than 1,300 people, while over 5,600 others remain missing. Nepalโ€™s army confirmed that the survivor was pulled from the same hydropower tunnel on the Trishuli River where two Nepalis were rescued the previous day.

Rescuers believe the glacier collapse on Aug. 26 trapped at least 900 people in tunnels connected to six hydropower projects. The search for survivors and missing people continues, nearly two weeks after the catastrophe. The latest rescue has given the teams renewed hope as they continue searching the buried tunnels.
