Nepal Flood Rescue: Tunnels Under Debris as Thousands Remain Missing

TL;DR Summary
Rescue teams in Nepal, with help from China, India and international agencies, are scrambling five days after flash floods triggered by a Tibetan glacier collapse, as hundreds are believed trapped in debris-filled hydro tunnels. The death toll stands at 903 with about 4,247 missing. Efforts are slowed by difficult terrain, bad weather, and barrier lakes, though some tunnels (Trishuli 3A/3B) have been breached and nearly 300 workers rescued; the operation continues as authorities warn the disaster remains ongoing.
