Neutral summary

Rescuers in Nepal have pulled three survivors from the rubble ten days after catastrophic flooding triggered by a mudslide on August 26. On Saturday, a Chinese national was rescued from a tunnel at a hydropower construction site, following the earlier rescue of two Nepali workers from the Trishuli 3A project tunnel. A 64-year-old woman, Chandika Shrestha, was also found alive in her mud-buried home and airlifted to hospital. Authorities report the death toll has surpassed 1,300, with more than 5,000 people still missing, and search operations are ongoing.
