Three workers rescued alive more than a week after Nepal-China border floods
The death toll from the devastating Nepal-China border floods has risen past 1,270. In a dramatic survival story, rescue teams have pulled three workers alive from a hydropower tunnel more than a week after the disaster struck, and another Australian traveler has been found alive nearly two weeks after the floods as efforts continue to locate others.
Not moving quickly right now, but still current and open to further updates.

- When rescue teams will be able to access the isolated areas where they were traveling.
- Whether any other Australians remain unaccounted for in the affected border region.
- When rescue teams will be able to fully restore access and communications to the isolated mountainous areas.
