A 101-year-old man was pulled alive from the rubble of his house in Nepal seven days after it collapsed in a deadly earthquake, police said Sunday.

 

Funchu Tamang was rescued on Saturday with only minor injuries and airlifted to a district hospital, local police officer Arun Kumar Singh told AFP.

 

"He was brought to the district hospital in a helicopter. His condition is stable," said Singh in Nuwakot district around 80 kilometers (50 miles) northwest of Kathmandu.
