Nine of the ten South Koreans stranded in areas affected by severe flooding in Nepal have returned home safely.
On August 31, Doosan Enerbility announced that the nine employees rescued from the flood site arrived in South Korea around 2 p.m. local time.
According to Doosan Enerbility, the employees were checked for health issues immediately upon their return and were reported to be in good condition, not requiring hospitalization.
A company representative stated, "They confirmed their health status upon returning and then reunited with their families. The site manager has remained in Nepal to support the search efforts as much as possible."
However, the representative noted, "The nine employees are physically and psychologically exhausted from the sudden disaster and isolation. The company believes it is crucial to respect their wishes by minimizing external contact and allowing them to quietly reunite with their families to regain stability."
The nine individuals returned after being stranded in the flood-affected area since August 26 and were evacuated to safety via helicopter before heading home.
Meanwhile, there has been no news regarding the rescue of six Doosan Enerbility employees and three from Korea South-East Power who went missing at a hydropower site due to the flooding. A representative stated, "We are focusing all efforts on search and rescue operations for these individuals."
