On September 5th local time, a Chinese citizen trapped in the debris flow disaster area of Reshwa in northern Nepal was rescued.
According to CCTV News, the man recalled that during the wait for rescue in the tunnel, he saw the lights of search and rescue personnel in the distance several times, and heard their loud calls.
Every time I see the lights, I yell; it's really loud. He said, possibly because of the distance, the rescue personnel hadn’t heard him. Today, when the rescue personnel approached him, the lights illuminated his eyes, and he was afraid to believe at first.
According to reporters from the official news agency, the rescued individuals have been transferred to hospitals, and their condition is stable.
