The moment a Nepali woman found alive days after devastating floods

Images released by Nepal's army showed rescuers finding 64-year-old Chandika Kumari Shrestha covered in mud inside the damaged house in Nuwakot town. Nepali Prime Minister Balendra Shah said Ms Shrestha's rescue ten days after the disaster "has given hope to the entire nation". At least 1,300 people were killed in the August 26 floods — which were likely caused by a glacier collapse — and more than 5,000 remain missing, according to Nepal's disaster management agency.
