Extraordinary stories of survival are emerging from Nepal’s devastating flash floods, which have killed more than 600 people and left over 2,400 missing. Ninety-seven-year-old Guna Maya Bohara was pulled alive from the rubble of her care home after a four-hour rescue operation. She is now recovering in hospital. Customs agent Raju Budhathoki escaped to a forest after floodwaters swept away homes, while another survivor, Prakash Gautam, survived in the darkness with an injured toe, eating noodle packets dropped by the Nepali Army before being rescued by helicopter. Search and rescue operations continue across flood-hit areas. (PC: X)
