印度官员称,周四,一场突如其来的强降雨引发的洪水淹没了印度东北部的几个城镇,造成至少14人死亡,救援人员正在搜救100多人。

锡金国家灾害管理局在一份声明中说,周三的洪水过后,有2000多人获救,并补充说,国家当局为受洪水影响的22000多人建立了26个救援营地。

印度报业托拉斯通讯社报道说,102人失踪,并援引邦政府官员的话说,有14人在洪水中死亡。

官员说,失踪人员中有22名军人。

据当地媒体报道,一名周三失踪的士兵后来被当局救出。

洪水过后,一些军营和车辆被泥浆淹没。

官员们说,11座桥梁被洪水冲走,洪水还冲毁了管道,并损坏或摧毁了四个地区的270多所房屋。

The flooding occurred along the Teesta River in the Lachen Valley in Sikkim state and was worsened when parts of a dam were washed away. 10 Some army camps and vehicles were submerged under mud following the floods. 10

洪水发生在锡金邦拉琴山谷的提斯塔河沿岸,部分大坝被冲走,情况进一步恶化。

该州的教育部门说,包括蒂斯塔盆地的迪克丘和Rangpo在内的几个城镇被洪水淹没,四个地区的学校被命令关闭,直到周日。

连接该邦首府锡金与该国其他地区的高速公路部分被冲走。

印度总理纳伦德拉·莫迪(Narendra Modi)的办公室在一份声明中表示,政府将在洪灾后为邦当局提供支持。

Parts of a highway that l<em></em>inks Sikkim, the state capital, with the rest of the country were washed away. 10 Eleven bridges were washed away by the floodwaters, which also hit pipelines and damaged or destroyed more than 270 houses in four districts, officials said. 10

洪水是由突如其来的暴雨引起的,暴雨的定义是一小时内3.8平方英里内降雨量超过3.9英寸。

暴雨可能导致严重的洪水和山体滑坡,影响数千人。

锡金所在的喜玛拉雅山地区本季度出现了强季风性降雨。

今年8月,喜马偕尔邦附近的山洪暴发和山体滑坡造成近50人死亡。

7月份创纪录的降雨在印度北部两周内造成100多人死亡,道路被淹,房屋倒塌。

The flooding was caused by cloudbursts — sudden, very heavy rains — which are defined as when more than 3.9 inches of rainfall occurs within 3.8 square miles within an hour. 10 Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s office said in a statement that the government would support state authorities in the aftermath of the flooding. 10 Several towns, including Dikchu and Rangpo in the Teesta basin, were flooded, and schools in four districts were ordered shut until Sunday, the state’s education department said. 10

在6月至9月的季风季节,由山体滑坡和洪水引起的灾害在印度喜马拉雅地区很常见。

科学家们表示,随着全球变暖导致那里的冰川融化,它们变得越来越频繁。

国际山地综合发展中心(International Center for Integrated Mountain Development)的气候科学家雅各布·施泰纳(Jakob Steiner)在评论周三的山洪暴发时说:“令人难以置信的是,这是另一个典型的连锁灾害,越往下游越严重。”

Disasters caused by landslides and floods are common in India’s Himalayan region during the June-September mo<em></em>nsoon season. 10 The mountainous Himalayan region wher<em></em>e Sikkim is located has seen heavy mo<em></em>nsoon rains this season. 10 Eleven bridges were washed away by the floodwaters, which also hit pipelines and damaged or destroyed more than 270 houses in four districts, officials said. 10

今年早些时候,施泰纳所在的组织发表了一份报告,称如果全球变暖得不到控制,喜马拉雅冰川的体积可能会减少80%。

2021年2月,印度北部北阿坎德邦的山洪造成近200人死亡,房屋被冲走。
