A 97-year-old woman, Guna Maya Bohara, was rescued alive after being trapped beneath the rubble of her care home following devastating flash floods in Nepal. Rescue teams worked for nearly four hours to clear the debris, using an excavator to reach her. Bohara was eventually pulled from the wreckage and taken to hospital, where doctors said she is recovering. Her great-nephew, Dipak Bohara, described her as looking “like a warrior” after the dramatic rescue. The incident occurred as hundreds were confirmed dead in the floods, which scientists believe were triggered by a glacier collapse near Tibet.
