尼泊尔洪灾考验巴伦总理新政府

尼泊尔上周遭遇致命山洪，造成了该国近十年来最严重的自然灾难。截至周一，官方已确认900多人丧生，近4800人仍然下落不明 1。这场灾害席卷了中尼边境附近的地区，摧毁了整个社区并损坏了多座水电站 1。36岁的总理巴伦领导的政府正面临执政以来首次重大国家危机 1。

救援行动已进行至第六天 1。当局已决定寻求中国和印度等国的国际救援专家参与，协助进行隧道救援、DNA鉴定和法医检验工作 1。据悉，数百名工人被困在水电站建设隧道内 1。同时，政府通过总理灾难救济基金募集了超过50亿尼泊尔卢比（合3470万美元/2990万欧元），用于应对这场危机 1。

Nepal's devastating flash floods last week have claimed over 900 confirmed lives with nearly 4,800 people still missing as of Monday, marking the country's deadliest disaster in a decade and worst since the 2015 earthquake.1 The catastrophic event has struck areas near the Chinese border, destroying entire communities and damaging hydropower facilities,1 presenting 36-year-old Prime Minister Balendra Shah—a former rapper known as "Balen"—with his administration's first major national crisis.1

Rescue operations entered their sixth day as hundreds of workers remained believed trapped in tunnels at hydropower construction sites.1 The government swiftly mobilized resources, collecting over 5 billion Nepali rupees (approximately $34.7 million or €29.9 million) through its disaster relief fund by Saturday.1 By Friday, officials decided to invite international expertise from China and India to assist with specialized tasks including tunnel rescues, DNA identification, and forensic examinations.1

The crisis poses significant governance challenges for Shah's Rastriya Swatantra Party, which holds no representation in local or provincial governments,1 leaving the young administration to coordinate reconstruction efforts and infrastructure repairs with limited established local political support.1
