네팔 대홍수 사망자 800명 넘겨… 신속대응팀 "육로 수색 시도"

The death toll from the massive floods in Nepal continues to climb with thousands of others still missing as rescuers battle treacherous terrain wretched weather and delays in deploying helicopters.
Kim Do-yeon has the latest.

Search and rescue teams are searching through layers of mud, looking for any sign of life amid the destruction.
But despite efforts, the death toll continues to climb six days after the devastating flood hit Nepal and Tibet.
The latest figure released on Monday by Nepal's disaster management authorities reported that at least 903 people have died, with more than 42-hundred people still missing.
In Tibet across the Chinese border, authorities reported 16 deaths and 546 missing, with Chinese state media saying 261 of the missing are foreigners, including over a hundred Nepalis.

"There is no connecting road to our village, there is no electricity, and mobile phones can't be charged. Residents of our village remain missing. Now we are here hoping to find them, dead or alive."

Some of the most urgent rescue operations are taking place inside tunnels at hydro-power projects in the Rasuwa region where hundreds of workers may still be trapped inside.
Specialist teams from Korea, Nepal, China and India are involved in the search.
Rescue teams are drilling an access route through the debris covering the top of a tunnel and have installed pipes to pump in air and insert cameras to search for survivors.
However, conditions onsite make operations extremely difficult.
Heavy rain has raised nearby river levels and the lack of specialized equipment further complicates efforts.
Fears of a secondary disaster also remain with landslides blocking rivers with mud and rocks, potentially creating another dam-like lake that could collapse.
Nepali and Chinese authorities noted that they are monitoring the risk of further flooding from natural-dam lakes.

The critical 72-hour 'golden window' for finding survivors has already passed, but for families waiting for news, even recovering the body of a loved one has become a relief amid the disaster.
