In Nepal, rescue workers pulled two survivors from a hydropower tunnel Friday morning, nine days after the partial collapse of a glacier triggered a massive flood and landslide. Rescue work is continuing, as authorities believe dozens of others remain trapped in similar tunnels. On Thursday, authorities said the disaster had killed at least 1,280 people on both sides of the China-Nepal border, with more than 5,600 still missing. The United Nations warns the Himalayas are warming twice as fast as the global average, accelerating the retreat of glaciers and increasing the risk of devastating landslides and floods.
