China reported 16 deaths and 546 missing people, including 261 foreigners, in its latest update.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The first 72 hours after a disaster are considered critical for rescue operations, and hopes of finding thousands of missing people alive are now fading.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Despite the passage of time, rescue teams continue searching through mud, rocks and debris. Difficult terrain, persistent floodwaters, landslides and bad weather have made operations particularly challenging.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The scale of the destruction has also made it difficult for rescuers to reach remote communities, with roads and bridges washed away and large areas cut off.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Hundreds of hydropower workers feared trapped<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">One of the biggest rescue efforts is focused on around 900 missing hydropower workers in Nepal, with hundreds feared trapped inside tunnels and underground areas at 12 hydropower projects.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Nepal Army spokesperson Brigadier General Raja Ram Basnet said a large amount of debris had accumulated inside the tunnels, making it extremely difficult for rescuers to gain access.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">About 250 people were rescued from the Upper Trishuli Hydroelectric Project over the weekend, while army engineers began blasting operations to reach another 42 workers believed to be missing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">According to Nepalese authorities, roughly 500 workers are believed to be trapped inside tunnels at hydropower sites.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Visuals released by the Nepal Army showed rescue teams entering dark, debris-filled tunnels, wading through mud and water and climbing over rocks in search of survivors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Foreign experts are also assisting Nepalese teams at several hydropower projects.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The death toll from catastrophic flooding in Nepal and China has crossed 1,000, while thousands<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":22336,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"spay_email":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[216,215,9],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-22335","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-international","category-latest","category-world"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v18.4.1 -
