尼泊尔中部廓尔喀地区布迪甘达基河近日发生山洪灾害,河水水位在数小时内急剧上升1。根据不同来源报道,此次洪灾造成4至5人失踪23,约49至50人被救出12。尼泊尔军队已赶赴现场进行救援工作2。
洪灾造成的破坏范围广泛。房屋被冲毁数量不一:BBC来源报道近24座房屋被冲走2,而中国新闻来源则报道至少40栋房屋被冲走3。桥梁方面,BBC来源报道4座桥梁被冲走2,中国新闻来源报道两座吊桥被冲走3,水电项目设施遭受损坏13。此外,中国新闻来源还报道15头牦牛冲走、4处牧棚被毁,失踪者为在牧棚内照料牲畜的牧民3。
上游山体滑坡是此次洪灾的主要原因23。气象学家Binod Parajuli指出:"我们的水文站被冲走,我们无法获得该地点的任何数据"1。救助儿童组织尼泊尔主任Tara Chettry表示:"孩子们的生活在瞬间再次被摧毁"1。这次洪灾发生在尼泊尔两个月前边境灾难性洪水事件之后,当时造成1400多人死亡、数千人失踪1,当地仍在恢复中。尼泊尔军警已部署直升机进行灾情监测和搜救3。
A devastating flash flood struck Nepal's Gorkha district along the Budhi Gandaki River, destroying homes and infrastructure and leaving several people missing. The Nepali military rescued approximately 49 to 50 people from the riverbanks 12, though five individuals remain unaccounted for 12, with one source reporting four missing 3. No deaths have been confirmed so far 1.
The floodwaters rose dramatically, with water levels climbing from approximately 2 meters to 8.5 meters within hours 1. The surge destroyed between 12 and 24 homes and multiple suspension bridges 12, along with a hydroelectric facility 13. One source reported that two suspension bridges and at least 40 houses were swept away 3, while 15 yaks were also lost and four herding shelters destroyed 3. The flooding occurred in the early morning hours of October 11 3, in an area along the Manaslu Circuit trekking route 3.
A landslide in the river's upper reaches triggered the disaster by blocking the waterway and causing a sudden surge downstream 23. With hydrological monitoring equipment washed away, officials face challenges in data collection. Meteorologist Binod Parajuli stated: "Our hydrological station was swept away, we cannot get any data from that location" 1. The flooding comes just two months after a catastrophic border disaster that killed over 1,400 people and left thousands missing in Nepal 1. Save the Children Nepal director Tara Chettry expressed concern about the renewed devastation, saying: "Children's lives have been destroyed once again in an instant" 1.
