On August 28, 2026, rescuers in Nepal crawled through mud to save trapped workers during a flood. Diggers also clawed through mud to search for survivors. A survivor waved a red cloth from a rooftop to signal for rescue.

Rescuers in Nepal moved through thick mud to reach and extract workers trapped by floodwaters. The operation took place in the mountainous regions of the country, where heavy rainfall had caused severe flooding. Diggers worked alongside rescuers, searching for additional survivors in the debris and mud. A survivor, located on a rooftop, waved a red cloth to signal for help, a common method used in rescue operations when communication is limited.
