KATHMANDU, Nepal (AP) \u2014 Rescuers in Nepal<\/a> pulled out a Chinese man and a woman in separate operations Saturday, 10 days after devastating floods hit the country, as teams continued searching for thousands of people still missing.<\/p>\n

The man was rescued from a hydropower tunnel, according to a social media post by the country\u2019s prime minister\u2019s office, bringing the total to three workers pulled alive from the Trishuli hydropower project. Two Nepalese workers<\/a> were rescued on Friday.<\/p>\n

Nepal\u2019s army said a joint rescue team of Nepalese military personnel and South Korean disaster experts rescued the man from a 225-meter (about 740-foot) tunnel and that he was undergoing a health assessment. Images showed him being evacuated by helicopter, with an army medic checking on him during the flight.<\/p>\n

A photo released by Chinese state broadcaster CCTV showed two rescuers carrying the man out of the tunnel.<\/p>\n

Rescue efforts have increasingly focused on 12 hydropower projects across Nepal, where about 900 workers are missing and roughly 500 are believed to be trapped in various tunnels<\/a>, authorities said. Specialized rescue teams from India, China, South Korea and the United States have been searching through debris, damaged structures and tunnels at the projects, hoping to find survivors.<\/p>\n

In flood-hit Nuwakot town, a woman was rescued alive from a house, Nepal\u2019s army spokesperson said Saturday. Officials said she was being airlifted to Kathmandu for treatment.<\/p>\n

Images released by Nepal\u2019s army showed rescuers finding the woman covered in mud inside the damaged house. They gave her bottled water before pulling her to safety, wrapped in a gray blanket.<\/p>\n

At least 1,300 people were killed in the Aug. 26 floods, which were likely caused by a glacier collapse, and more than 5,000 remain missing, according to Nepal\u2019s disaster management agency.<\/p>\n
