An elderly woman was found alive 10 days after devastating floods in Nepal. AsiaOne reports.

A natural disaster struck the country on August 26. Chandrika Shrestha, 64, from Betravati village in Nuwakot district, was at home when a four-storey building was demolished by a powerful mudslide. The house was almost completely buried under tons of dirt and stones. Her relatives were looking for her until September 4. The son came several times to the place where the house stood, but could not get to it because of the rubble.

On September 5, the family decided that there was no more hope and arranged a symbolic funeral for Shrestha. That same day, rescuers walked past a destroyed house and heard a faint cry for help. A team of nine people began to clear the rubble and after 45 minutes they pulled out the woman alive. She managed to escape thanks to a small air pocket on the top floor of the building. Shrestha said that she called her family at her own funeral and told them that she was alive.
