Rescuers in Nepal pulled a Chinese man and a woman alive from debris on Saturday, 10 days after devastating floods hit the country.
The man was rescued from a tunnel at the Trishuli hydropower project, according to the prime minister’s office.
This brought the total to three workers pulled alive from that site.
Two Nepalese workers were rescued there on Friday.
Nepal’s army said a joint team of Nepalese military personnel and South Korean disaster experts rescued the man from a 225-meter tunnel.
He was undergoing a health assessment.
Chinese state broadcaster CCTV identified him as Lu Haitao and said he was in stable condition at a hospital.
CCTV shared audio of Lu saying he shouted whenever he saw rescue lights, but crews could not hear him.
He said he could not believe it when they shone a light on him during the rescue.
In flood-hit Nuwakot town, a woman was rescued alive from a house, according to Nepal’s army spokesperson.
Officials said she was airlifted to Kathmandu for treatment.
Army images showed rescuers finding her covered in mud and giving her bottled water before pulling her to safety.
Rescue efforts have focused on 12 hydropower projects, where about 900 workers are missing and roughly 500 are believed trapped in tunnels, authorities said.
Specialized teams from India, China, South Korea and the United States are searching for survivors.
At least 1,300 people were killed in the Aug. 26 floods, likely caused by a glacier collapse, and more than 5,000 remain missing, according to Nepal’s disaster management agency.
