美国国务院表示,上周三发生的灾难性喜马拉雅洪水已造成数百人死亡,目前仍有约80名美国人下落不明。
这一最新数据较此前估计的至少90名在尼中边境失踪的美国人有所减少。

“我们可以确认已有13名美国公民在尼泊尔安全抵达,”美国国务院发言人对福克斯新闻表示。

与此同时,尼泊尔地方官员周日发布的最新数据显示,该国死亡人数已升至903人,仍下落不明的人数几乎翻倍至约4200人。

据官员介绍,这场灾难发生在尼泊尔中北部地区,起因是远处一处涉及冰川的斜坡垮塌,引发了快速移动的泥石流,该泥石流沿下游流动了约62英里后袭击了人口密集区域。灾难现场的画面显示,大量水和碎屑突然涌入山谷,将沿途建筑吞没。

周日,尼泊尔外交部发言人通报了伤亡情况。
“截至目前,已从灾区找到903具遗体,约4200人仍下落不明。已有超过1万人从该地区获救,其中包括323名外国公民。根据现有数据,来自39个国家的约590名外国公民仍处于失踪状态,”该发言人说道。

艾莎基金会协调负责人乔蒂·扬科夫斯基周六对福克斯新闻表示,失踪的美国人中有22人隶属于田纳西州非营利组织艾莎基金会的朝圣团。洪水来袭时,他们正身处一栋移民大楼内。

当局表示,尼泊尔正在与邻国及国际社会协调开展救灾工作,印度和中国等国已运送救援物资抵达。
官员称,更多救援物资预计将从美国、阿联酋、缅甸、卡塔尔、英国、澳大利亚、韩国、日本、新西兰、马来西亚、新加坡、孟加拉国、巴基斯坦以及其他国际组织运抵。

“救援和人道主义援助正在受灾地区展开。我们深切感谢各位朋友和合作伙伴在这一困难时期给予的团结、善意和慷慨支持,”该发言人说道。

美国国务院上周三表示,其“正在监控局势,并将向该地区部署一名灾害响应顾问以协助救灾工作”。
“国务院还将通过其与天主教救济服务机构的全球合作项目提供50万美元援助,用于为受洪水影响的社区提供紧急住所、救援物资以及水、卫生和 hygiene 援助,”国务院说道。

据美国地质调查局(USGS)称,调查人员目前仍无法确定最初的垮塌是包含部分冰川的山体滑坡,还是冰川崩塌——即一部分冰川断裂并与周围碎屑一起快速沿坡下滑。

美国地质调查局表示,这场与冰川相关的事件引发了5.2级地震。约三小时后发生了第二次地震事件,释放的能量相当于4.2级地震。
“冰川碎屑中含有水和冰,这些物质迅速融化,在流经现有溪流和河道时裹挟了更多物质和水,形成了快速移动、波及范围极广的滑坡和洪水,其中裹挟着巨石和其他瓦砾,”该机构说道。

Roughly 80 Americans remain unaccounted for following the catastrophic Himalayan flood last Wednesday that killed hundreds of people, the State Department said.

The update marks a decrease from a previous estimate of at least 90 Americans who went missing near the Nepal-China border.

“We can confirm that 13 American citizens have made their way to safety in Nepal,” a State Department spokesperson told Fox News.

Meanwhile, Nepal’s death toll has risen to 903, while the number of people still unaccounted for has nearly doubled to roughly 4,200, according to an update from local officials Sunday.

According to officials, the disaster occurred in north-central Nepal when a distant slope failure involving a glacier triggered a rapidly moving debris flow that traveled roughly 62 miles downstream before striking a populated area. Footage from the disaster showed a massive surge of water and debris suddenly rushing through the valleys, engulfing buildings in its path.

On Sunday, a spokesperson for Nepal’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs provided an update on the toll.

“So far, 903 bodies have been recovered from the areas and about 4200 people are still unaccounted for. Over 10,000 people have been rescued from the regions, including over 323 foreign nationals. As per the available data, about 590 foreign nationals are still missing, from 39 countries,” the spokesperson said.

Twenty-two of the missing Americans were part of a pilgrimage affiliated with a Tennessee-based nonprofit group, Isha Foundation coordination leader Jyoti Jankowski told Fox News Saturday. They were inside an immigration building when the flooding struck the area, Jankowski said.

Authorities said Nepal is coordinating with neighboring countries and the international community to provide relief, with supplies already arriving from countries including India and China.

More supplies are expected to arrive from the U.S., United Arab Emirates, Myanmar, Qatar, the U.K., Australia, the Republic of Korea, Japan, New Zealand, Malaysia, Singapore, Bangladesh, Pakistan and other international organizations, officials said.

“Relief and humanitarian assistance are being provided in the affected areas. We are deeply grateful to our friends and partners for their solidarity, goodwill and generous offers of support at this difficult time,” the spokesperson said.

The State Department said last Wednesday that it was “monitoring the situation and is deploying a disaster response advisor to the region to support response efforts.”

“The Department will also provide $500,000 in assistance through its global award with Catholic Relief Services, supporting emergency shelter, relief items, and water, sanitation, and hygiene assistance to flood-affected communities,” the department said.

According to the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) investigators remain uncertain whether the initial failure was a landslide incorporating part of a glacier or a glacial collapse, in which a portion of a glacier breaks off and rapidly moves downslope with surrounding debris.

The glacier-related event resulted in a magnitude 5.2 earthquake, according to the USGS. A second seismic event was recorded approximately three hours later, generating energy equivalent to a magnitude 4.2 earthquake.

“The glacial debris contained water and ice that rapidly melted, picking up more material and water as it flowed downslope in the existing stream and river channels, creating a fast-moving, far-traveled landslide and flood laden with boulders and other rubble,” the agency said.
