Ten days after deadly landslides and floods in the Himalayas, two more people have been rescued. A man working in a hydroelectric tunnel was found alive and rescued on Saturday morning.

He is one of three workers in the country's hydroelectric tunnels who have been rescued in the past 24 hours.

In the city of Nuwakot, a woman who had been trapped in the rubble for ten days was also pulled out by rescue workers on Saturday morning, AP writes. The woman has been taken to a hospital in the capital, Kathmandu.
