Nepal Rescue: 350 Saved, 100 Trapped in Trishuli 3A

Nepal’s flood aftermath has left hundreds rescued from hydroelectric sites, with a Nepali Army operation reporting 350 workers and locals saved from the Trishuli 3A tunnel while around 100 more remain trapped amid ongoing, dangerous conditions and difficult-to-locate entry points. Rescue efforts, aided by helicopters, continue as authorities warn of the risk of fresh floods and the broader disaster toll climbs, with officials citing dozens of confirmed deaths and thousands missing across Nepal and neighboring Tibet. The Trishuli-1 site has seen substantial relief work, with hundreds rescued including 200 Indians, while Nepal’s disaster authority indicates over 2,500 people have been rescued so far. The disaster is linked to a glacial collapse triggering massive debris flows, intensifying concerns about climate-driven glacier melt and related flood risks in the region, and prompting Chinese authorities to pause rescues in Tibet due to renewed flood danger. In Nepal, the death toll has reached hundreds, with international missing persons figures spanning dozens of countries as search operations proceed in debris-strewn valleys and hillsides. Nepal and China have issued warnings about ongoing flood risks near the border, complicating cross-border rescue efforts as networks of lakes formed by debris threaten further outflows.
