巴基斯坦军方直升机于本周四从Broad Peak山坡运送了5名登山者遗体[1]。这次行动距离7月31日发生的雪崩灾难已近一周[1]。该雪崩导致一支国际登山队遭遇厄运,目前已恢复8具遗体[1]。
遇难者中包括著名英裔尼泊尔登山者Nirmal Purja[1],以及中国登山者Zhong Wang、尼泊尔登山者Nima Sherpa、Gyalu Sherpa和Kilu Sherpa[1]。这支10人的国际登山队由来自尼泊尔、阿曼、巴基斯坦、中国、英国和美国的队员组成[1]。目前仍有2人失踪[1]。运送的遗体将被转运至巴基斯坦首都伊斯兰堡,由当地政府与相关国家大使馆协调处理[1]。
巴基斯坦外交部长Ishaq Dar向遇难者家属表示了哀悼[1]。Alpine Club主席Irfan Arshad Khan将此事件描述为"巴基斯坦最致命的登山灾难之一"[1]。
Pakistan's military helicopters airlifted the bodies of five climbers from Broad Peak on Thursday, nearly a week after an avalanche on July 31 claimed multiple lives from an international mountaineering expedition.[1] The disaster struck a ten-member international climbing team, resulting in the recovery of eight bodies so far, including renowned British-Nepali mountaineer Nirmal Purja, as well as Chinese climber Zhong Wang and Nepali climbers Nima Sherpa, Gyalu Sherpa, and Kilu Sherpa.[1] Two climbers remain missing following the incident.[1]
The recovered remains are being transported to Islamabad, where Pakistan's government and relevant national embassies will coordinate their handling and repatriation.[1] The international team consisted of members from Nepal, Oman, Pakistan, China, the United Kingdom, and the United States.[1] Pakistan's Foreign Minister Ishaq Dar expressed condolences to the families of those who perished,[1] while Alpine Club Chairman Irfan Arshad Khan described the tragedy as "one of Pakistan's deadliest mountaineering disasters."[1]
