Nepal Rescuers Drill into Tunnels in Bid to Reach Trapped Workers The receding floodwaters at hydropower projects in Nepal's Rasuwa District have brought a glimmer of hope to those searching for trapped workers.
The Nepali army's efforts to drill into tunnels and reach the stranded laborers demonstrate the determination of rescue teams, but also highlight the complexities of responding to such disasters.
The scale of this week's catastrophe is staggering: 750 people are dead, over 3,000 are missing, and more than 933 hydropower workers are among the unaccounted for.
