Third survivor rescued from submerged Nepal tunnel

A Chinese national was pulled alive from a ​tunnel in Nepal on Saturday, ​the authorities said, 10 days ⁠after a wall of ice, ​rock and mud tore through a ​Himalayan valley, killing more than 1,300 people and leaving over 5,600 missing.

The ​Nepali army said the Chinese ​person was rescued from the same hydropower ‌tunnel ⁠on the Trishuli River where two Nepalis were brought out alive the day before in a dramatic ​operation.

Rescue workers ​have ⁠said they believe the August 26 collapse of ​a glacier on the upper ​reaches ⁠of the river trapped at least 900 people in tunnels ⁠related ​to six hydropower projects.
