A British national has been rescued in Nepal alongside 118 Nepalese people, a spokesperson for the country’s army said.
It comes nearly a week after deadly floods hit the country, killing more than 1,000 people.
More than 3,900 people remain missing.
The British national has not yet been identified.
Among the Nepalese people rescued, 44 are female and 74 are male, the army spokesperson added.
It has been previously reported that 33 British nationals are missing in Nepal in the wake of the floods.
More than 3,900 people remain missing – of whom more than 600 are workers believed to be trapped in a vast network of mud-filled tunnels at hydropower sites along Trishuli River.
Nepalese Prime Minister Balendra Shah said on Monday that 279 people had been rescued from the sites.
The rescue operation is being spearheaded by an international team made up of Chinese and Nepalese military personnel, while experts from India, Korea and Australia are also involved.
