Nepal is fully mobilized in a search effort for survivors trapped within a tunnel of a power plant after devastating floods struck the Himalayan region bordering China. The floods, entering their ninth day, have complicated rescue operations in the remote, mountainous terrain. Authorities believe survivors may be present, with hopes fueled by the possibility of air and food supplies within the tunnel. Teams are working to pump out water and clear debris to access those potentially stranded. The disaster has prompted a large-scale response, with ongoing assessments of the full extent of the damage and casualties. The situation remains critical as time is of the essence in locating and rescuing any remaining individuals.
