More than a week after flash flooding struck the Nepal-Tibet border, killing over 1,300 people, two individuals were rescued from a tunnel in Nepal.

A "Goldilocks zone" may be home to further survivors, according to an expert who tells the BBC that 39 are believed to remain trapped.
Rescue attempts are ongoing, according to Col. Jhabindra Reshmi of Nepal's army, and getting into the tunnels is becoming more challenging due to the muck and rocks.

The body of a third person has been found at the site, with authorities saying they likely "died after being caught in floodwater while trying to flee from the tunnel"

The flooding, which hit last Wednesday, is believed to have been caused by a glacial collapse. Thousands of people are still missing - here's how it unfolded.

155 additional Nepalis who were stuck in Tibet were rescued by Chinese authorities.

Following the sudden flooding, 155 additional Nepalis who were stuck in Tibet were saved by Chinese officials and brought back to Nepal.

Our colleagues at BBC Nepali are informed by Sindhu pal chowk Chief District Officer Shashidhar Ghimire that they arrived in Nepal at approximately 14:00 on Friday local time (09:15 BST) via the Tatopani border crossing.

He claims that 145 people from Rasuwa, nine from Kathmandu, and one from Dhading were saved; Nepali officials are currently arranging for the repatriation of these citizens to their homes.

It comes after 144 Nepalis, including a kid, returned earlier on Thursday.

The official death toll on the Tibetan side of the border is still only 21, but the actual death toll will be much higher because 541 individuals are still classified as missing.

Instead of waiting for more survivors, emergency services now appear to be concentrating on aiding the living.

According to officials, they are establishing makeshift shelters, monitoring the quality of the food and water, and offering psychological support to individuals who may have lost loved ones.☝

847 items that may have belonged to the deceased have been collected as a result of the recovery attempt. They will be used to attempt to identify victims of flood disasters.
