SUMMARY

Rescue operations in Nepal have recovered a Chinese man and a 64-year-old Nepali woman ten days after floods caused by a glacial collapse killed at least 1,375 people and left over 5,000 missing. Authorities are searching for approximately 900 missing workers at hydropower projects, many of whom are believed to be trapped in tunnels as infrastructure damage, including over 40 collapsed bridges, hampers efforts.
