Rescue teams in Nepal are continuing their search of a tunnel at a hydropower project, where officials say dozens of people are believed to still be trapped following a deadly flood that struck the area last week.

So far, two people have been rescued alive from the tunnel, though it remains unclear how many of those still inside may have survived. Authorities are continuing to assess the situation as the search operation proceeds inside the damaged tunnel.

The flooding, described by officials as deadly, caused significant damage to the hydropower project's infrastructure. The exact number of people still believed to be inside the tunnel has not been officially confirmed, and rescue crews remain on site working to determine the full scope of the situation.

Further details on casualties, the progress of the rescue operation, and the cause of the flooding have not yet been released.
