Triggered by a glacier collapse, the floods have devastated hydropower sites and the Gyirong border crossing, with Nepal reporting nearly 5,000 people still unaccounted for and China’s Tibet region confirming 43 deaths and 519 missing, including 260 foreigners. The rescued worker, Lu Haitao, a former farmer turned carpenter who came to Nepal for his first overseas job, had climbed to the highest point in the tunnel before giving up hope — until rescuers arrived. As families desperately search for loved ones, international aid is pouring in: India has sent a tunnel-rescue team and donated 57 metric tons of supplies, while China, Japan, Australia, and others are also stepping up.
