A 97-year-old woman has survived flash floods in Nepal and was rescued with the help of an excavator after being caught up in the flooding.
The woman, named as Guna Maya Bohara, was brought to safety following the sudden floods. The rescue involved the use of heavy machinery, with an excavator used to reach or move her from the affected area.
Ms Bohara’s survival drew attention because of her age and the conditions surrounding the rescue. She was described as looking “like a warrior” after being saved from the floodwaters.
Flash floods can develop rapidly and leave people stranded with little warning. In this case, the use of an excavator underlines the difficulty rescuers faced in reaching Ms Bohara safely.
No further details were immediately available on the precise location of the rescue, the extent of the flooding, or whether others were affected. The latest known information is that Ms Bohara survived and was rescued from the flood-hit area.
