Summary

Nepal's search and rescue team has pulled two people alive 10 days after devastating flash floods hit the country. A woman was found buried under mud and debris in her house in Nuwakot, while a Chinese man was rescued from a hydropower tunnel. The floods, which likely resulted from a glacier collapse, have left at least 1,300 dead and over 5,000 missing. Rescuers are still searching for survivors, with specialized teams from several countries assisting the efforts.

Why this leaning score
This article does not take a side on a contested political question, so it has no leaning score. That is an answer rather than a gap: a match report or a rescue can be warmly or critically written without being left or right, and scoring it anyway is how approval of a subject gets recorded as a political position.
