Rescue workers in Nepal have put their big engines to work, shoveling thousands of tons of mud in the hope of finding people who were swept away by the massive flood that hit that country yesterday. Tá na hinnill mhóra curtha ag obair ag lucht tarrthála i Neipeal agus na mílte tonna láibe á sluaisteáil acu le súil teacht ar dhaoine a scuabadh chun siúil leis an (surge) maidhm ollmhór thuile a tharla sa tír sin arú inné. Efforts are also being made to help people stranded in what remains of the small towns in the Devighat area that were destroyed in the blast. Táthar ag iarraidh teacht i gcabhair freisin ar dhaoine atá sáinnithe ina bhfuil fanta de na bailte beaga i gceantar Devighat a scriosadh sa mhaidhm. It is slow, heavy work as the mud hardens, and there are also large stones and other debris to be cleared. Obair throm mhall atá inti agus an láib ag téachtadh, agus clocha móra agus smionagar eile le cartadh freisin. Nepal Army soldiers are reportedly trying their best to reach up to 100 people trapped in a tunnel. Tuairiscítear go bhfuil saighdiúirí ó Arm Neipeal ar a ndícheall ag iarraidh teacht chomh fada le 100 duine atá sáinnithe i dtollán. It is said, then, that they are trying to find the opening of the tunnel hidden by the mud. Deirtear, más ea, go bhfuil sé ag dul rite leo teacht ar oscailt an tolláin atá folaithe ag an láib. It is not expected that any survivors will be found in the worst-hit areas and other teams are now focusing on getting people out of the settlements that are most at risk if another landslide occurs in the area. Níltear dóchasach go dtiocfar ar dhaoine atá fós ina mbeatha sna háiteanna is measa a buaileadh agus tá meithleacha eile ag díriú anois ar dhaoine a thabhairt amach as na lonnaíochtaí is mó atá sa bhearna bhaoil má tharlaíonn sciorradh talún eile sa cheantar. Authorities in Nepal have confirmed that around 600 people were killed in a flash flood that struck a mountainous area on the border between that country and Tibet on Wednesday morning. Tá sé deimhnithe ag na húdaráis i Neipeal gur maraíodh thart ar 600 duine sa mhaidhm thuile a tharla i gceantar sléibhe ar an teorainn idir an tír sin agus an Tibéid ar maidin Dé Céadaoin. Nearly 2,500 other people are missing on both sides of the border. Tá beagnach 2,500 duine eile ar iarraidh ar an dá thaobh den teorainn. More than a quarter of those 2,500 are foreigners, including two Irish citizens, Santosh Sahu, who is 46 years old, and Spandan Sahu, who is eighteen. Is eachtrannaigh os cionn an cheathrú cuid den 2,500 sin, beirt saoránach Éireannacha ina measc, Santosh Sahu, atá 46 bliain d'aois, agus Spandan Sahu, atá ocht mbliana déag. The Nepalese Government has indicated that the country's rescue services do not currently require assistance from international organizations. Tá sé tugtha le fios ag Rialtas Neipeal nach bhfuil cabhair ó eagraíochtaí idirnáisiúnta de dhíth ar sheirbhísí tarrthála na tíre faoi láthair.
