Summary
Guna Maya Bohara, 97, was rescued alive from the rubble of her care home after Nepali floods, in an operation that took four hours.
Images showed her covered in mud and being carried in the scoop of a digger, turning her into one of the most recognizable survivors of the disaster.
Doctors said Bohara is recovering in hospital, while her great-nephew Dipak Bohara traveled from Kathmandu to help and later said she looked like “a warrior” returning from battle.
