Rescuers in Nepal pull a Chinese national alive from a hydropower tunnel 10 days after floods

In Nepal, rescuers have saved a Chinese man and a woman in separate operations, 10 days after severe floods devastated the country. The man was found in a hydropower tunnel, making him the third worker rescued from the Trishuli hydropower project. A joint team of Nepalese military and South Korean experts conducted the rescue, and he is now undergoing a health assessment. Meanwhile, a woman was rescued from a damaged house in Nuwakot town and is being treated in Kathmandu. The floods, likely caused by a glacier collapse, have killed at least 1,300 people, with over 5,000 still missing. Rescue efforts are focused on 12 hydropower projects where many workers are trapped. International teams from India, China, South Korea, and the U.S. are involved in the search for survivors. QUESTION: How might international cooperation in disaster relief efforts influence future global relationships?
