A British national was successfully rescued in Nepal nearly a week after catastrophic flooding swept through the country. The rescue was confirmed by the Nepali Army, which has been conducting extensive operations to locate and assist both local residents and foreign citizens trapped by the rising waters and landslides.

According to official reports, the British individual is among a larger group of 273 foreign citizens who have been extracted from affected areas by military personnel. The identity of the British national has not been disclosed by authorities, and there have been no immediate details released regarding their current medical condition or the specific location where they were found. The flooding, which began late last week, has caused widespread destruction across Nepal, leading to significant infrastructure damage and numerous casualties. Rescue efforts remain ongoing as authorities continue to navigate difficult terrain and damaged transport routes to reach those still stranded in remote areas. While the Nepali Army continues to coordinate these efforts, international embassies are working to account for their citizens caught in the disaster zone.
