China has rushed five tunnel experts to Nepal after a powerful mudslide swept along the border, following a plea from Kathmandu. The team flew by helicopter from Gyirong in Xizang and arrived in the disaster zone at 4:58 p.m. Beijing time on Saturday, August 29. They are now helping to free workers trapped inside a hydropower station tunnel.

Four more Chinese tunnel experts are on their way to Nepal as the rescue mission ramps up.
