네팔, 발전소 6곳에 '고립 추정' 실종자 900여명 구조 총력전

Rescuers in Nepal are mounting a desperate search for more than 900 workers believed to be trapped inside six hydropower plants following last week's devastating floods.
Chung Hye-lim has the latest.

A massive rescue operation is underway in Nepal, as teams search for people believed to be trapped inside hydropower tunnels in the hard-hit districts of Rasuwa and Nuwakot.
According to Nepal’s Energy Minister, authorities are trying to reach at least 9-hundred 33 workers believed to be trapped at hydropower projects along the Trishuli River.
The operation is being led by Chinese and Nepalese military personnel, with experts from India, Korea, and Australia also taking part.
Nepalese Prime Minister Balendra Shah said Monday that 279 people had been rescued from the sites, while broader rescue operations have been intensified, with a total of 11,814 people rescued so far.

The rescue efforts come as the death toll from the catastrophic flooding in the Nepal-China border region continues to rise.
According to Nepal’s National Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Authority, 987 people have been confirmed dead in Nepal.
A total of 3,916 people remain unaccounted for in Nepal, while China reported 16 deaths and 546 unaccounted for as of Sunday.
That brings the combined death toll in Nepal and China to 1,003, with 4,462 people still out of contact.

"There is loss of life and loss of property as well. Many people have died in the floods. In terms of property loss, houses and land, everything is destroyed."
Meanwhile, China's Meteorological Administration said Monday that more rain was forecast on the border between Nepal and China, further slowing rescue efforts.
It also warned of slippery roads along the routes, raising concerns over possible secondary disasters.
