Two workers at a hydroelectric power plant were rescued alive in Nepal after nine days trapped in a tunnel buried by floods. The rescue took place in the Rasuwa region and was filmed by the Nepal Army, which released images of the operation.
The two workers became trapped inside the tunnel due to flooding that blocked access routes. During the nine days they remained at the site, rescue teams worked to try to reach the survivors.
The floods that hit the region were caused by adverse weather conditions. The late rescue is due to the complexity of the operation and the difficult conditions at the site.
The images released by the Nepali Army show the moment when the two workers are found alive, demonstrating the resilience of the workers after almost a week and a half trapped in the tunnel.
