尼泊尔-西藏边境洪水死亡人数逾800,3000多人仍失踪,当局警告新的危险

据美国之音 2026 年 8 月 30 日报导,尼泊尔灾害管理部门星期天(8月30日)表示,上星期三(8月26日)突发山洪造成的死亡人数已升至788人,另有2502人失踪;而中国当局报告称,在边境中方一侧有16人死亡,546人失踪。 尼泊尔当局星期天发出警告,博特科希河(Bhotekoshi River)水位上涨,可能引发新一轮洪水,并敦促受灾地区的居民保持高度警惕。 星期天清晨,民众通过手机收到了洪水预警。与此同时,救援人员正忙于清理一条连接加德满都与重灾区的主要公路。 据尼泊尔国家减少灾害风险与管理署负责人达拉姆·拉杰·乌普雷蒂(Dharam Raj Uprety)称,发出最新预警是因为中国当局通知尼泊尔方面,上游水流量有所增加。 中国官方通讯社新华社援引中国水利部的话报道称,星期三洪水过后在高山地区形成的一个新堰塞湖,其积水已基本排空。 但新华社报道称,水利部发出警告,位于上游5.6公里处的一个洼地(据估算蓄水量达140万立方米)仍存在一定风险,需要密切监测。 失踪者中包括数百名来自十多个国家的人员,他们当时身处该地区从事工作、登山或前往神圣山峰朝圣。星期天,中国官方媒体报道称,西藏地区有261名外国人失踪,其中包括100多名尼泊尔人以及来自世界各地的其他人士。 在尼泊尔,救援工作的重点已转向那些据信被困在遭洪水破坏的水电站隧道内的数百名人员。 尼泊尔外交部发言人洛克·巴哈杜尔·切特里(Lok Bahadur Chhetri)表示,尼泊尔需要在隧道救援、DNA检测、遗体冷藏以及腐烂遗骸的法医鉴定等专业领域获得国际援助。 切特里说,来自印度和中国的专家已着手协助打通隧道并支持救援行动。 在尼泊尔的受灾地区,一些居民开始返回被毁的家园,查看是否有物品可以抢救。 一些居民在已被洪水冲毁的家中将泥浆般的淤泥和瓦砾铲走。其他人则在地面上搜寻,试图从泥泞中捡出物品并清洗干净。 沿河一带,房屋、车辆和农用拖拉机从厚厚的灰褐色沉积物中露出。这些沉积物在某些地区几乎淹没了整个村庄。河边的部分梯田因山体滑坡而塌入河中。 尽管一些房屋和商铺在洪水中幸存,但到了星期日,这些地方仍处于停电状态,扭曲的电线杆和电线杂乱地纠缠在泥浆中。 大型混凝土桥梁和小型吊桥被毁,导致河两岸社区的通行变得异常困难。 周三发生的山洪暴发源于喜马拉雅山区高处的一次冰川崩塌。分析卫星图像的科学家指出,喜马拉雅山区高处冰川下方的基岩发生崩塌,导致部分冰川随之崩落。此次岩崩规模巨大,震级达到了5.2级。 岩石和融水导致下方山谷中的河流暴涨,引发的洪流裹挟着建筑物、桥梁和泥沙奔涌而下,席卷了西藏和尼泊尔境内的下游地区。 尼泊尔外交部长呼吁全球共同应对气候变化,指出尼泊尔正承受着不成比例的气候变化后果。 希西尔·卡纳尔(Shisir Khanal)周六表示:“尽管尼泊尔的全球排放量仅占0.1%,但其人民却已成为气候变化的主要受害者。” 科学家表示,目前断言全球变暖与上星期三发生的灾难之间存在直接联系还为时过早。不过他们指出,随着人类燃烧石油、天然气和煤炭等活动导致地球气温升高,此类灾害发生的几率也在增加;在喜马拉雅山区,这一趋势尤为明显,因为该地区的升温速度远快于世界其他许多地方。 来源:美国之音 The post 尼泊尔-西藏边境洪水死亡人数逾800,3000多人仍失踪,当局警告新的危险 first appeared on...
