Two people were rescued alive this Saturday in Nepal, on the eleventh day after the devastating floods that hit the country. A Chinese citizen was trapped inside a tunnel of a hydroelectric plant, while a 64-year-old woman was buried in the mud inside a residence.

The two rescues were considered important milestones in the search and rescue operations continuing in the region. Authorities maintain hopes of finding more survivors among the rubble and areas affected by the flash floods.

The floods in Nepal caused large-scale destruction, leaving a large number of victims and missing people. Rescue teams continue working in the areas most affected by the natural disaster.

An investigation revealed that seven World Central Kitchen humanitarian workers were killed by the Israeli army in Gaza in April 2024 after a misidentification that associated them with Hamas. The attack resulted from a controversial military practice that gives commanders leeway to identify targets based on the alleged association with combatants. Although World Central Kitchen had coordinated the movements of its teams with Israeli forces, a convoy with three international staff members was hit by three rockets, causing deaths of various nationalities. Israel attributed the incident to a misassessment and failures to follow established procedures.
