[Financial News] On the 5th (local time), a South Korean overseas emergency relief team rescued one Chinese survivor at the site of the flood in Nepal. It is a miracle, coming 10 days after the accident occurred.

According to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs on this day, overseas emergency relief teams recovered one body of unknown nationality along with one Chinese survivor from a tunnel near the Weir Dam where the flood occurred. Identification of the recovered body is expected to begin soon.

As survivors continue to be discovered even after the 'golden time' has passed, hopes for rescuing the nine missing Korean workers are growing again.

On the previous day, two Nepalese employees were dramatically rescued from a tunnel at the Upper Trishuli 3A hydroelectric power plant in Bagmati Province, nine days after the floods began in Nepal.
