Story summary
Here is a summary of the news story:
Two workers rescued from tunnel in Nepal more than a week after devastating floods swept through the country, killing over 1,300 people and leaving thousands missing. The floods caused widespread destruction, including damage to buildings, bridges, roads, and hydropower facilities, with estimated damages at $2.6 billion. Rescue efforts were ongoing, but mud and rocks made it difficult for rescuers to reach trapped workers. In a rare glimmer of hope, two men, Sanjay Sah and Kabir Maharjan, were rescued from the Trishuli 3A hydropower plant tunnel in Rasuwa district after being trapped for nine days. Rescuers heard voices coming from inside the tunnel, allowing them to locate the workers and bring them out alive. The rescue offers fresh hope for others still missing from hydropower sites, with hundreds believed to remain trapped in tunnels blocked by flood debris.

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.
