Nepal Army Races to Reach Workers Trapped in Hydropower Tunnel After Glacial Flood

A glacial collapse along the Nepal-Tibet border on August 26 sent floodwater downstream, killing 768 and leaving 3,048 missing by August 30. Rescue efforts focus on the Bhotekoshi River corridor, where 933 hydropower workers are among the missing. Nepal's army inserted a pipe into the Trishuli 3A tunnel to pump air to over 100 workers believed trapped inside.
