More positive news coming from Nepal's where

rescuers pull out a Chinese man and a woman in separate

operations, 10 days after devastating floods hit the China-Nepal

border.

At least 1,300 people were killed in floods, which were likely

caused by a glacier collapse, and more than 5,000

remain missing.

Nepal's army says a joint rescue team of Nepalese military personnel

and South Korean disaster experts rescued the man from a 225-meter

tunnel at a hydropower plant.

Two Nepalese workers were rescued at Nepal's Trishuli

on Friday.

Footage shows him being evacuated by helicopter, with an army

medic checking on him during the flight.

This as rescue efforts have increasingly focused on 12 hydropower

projects across Nepal, where about 900 workers are missing and roughly

500 are believed to be trapped in various tunnels, authorities said.

Specialised rescue teams from India, China, South Korea and the

United States have been searching through debris, damaged structures

and tunnels at the projects, hoping to find survivors.

In flood-hit Nuwakot town, a 60-year-old woman was rescued

alive from the upper floor of a four-storey building and has been airlifted

to Kathmandu for treatment.

Images released by Nepal's army shows rescuers finding the woman

covered in mud inside the damaged house.

They gave her bottled water before pulling her to safety,

wrapped in a gray blanket.
