A catastrophic flood on the Nepal-China border has buried dozens of workers in hydropower tunnels, leading to over 950 confirmed deaths and more than 4400 people missing. Rescue teams, including Nepal Army personnel and Chinese experts, are working to locate and save those trapped, though conditions remain extremely dangerous. At least 900 workers are unaccounted for across 12 hydropower projects, with some reports indicating up to 576 missing at the $900 million Upper Trishuli-1 Hydropower Project alone.

Rescue efforts continue with teams descending into tunnels, but success remains uncertain.
