尼泊尔加德满都——尼泊尔政府官员周二向CBS新闻证实,在尼藏边境灾难性山洪中失联的数十名美国公民中,已有一人取得联系。

目前仍有约85名美国人被列为失联人员,救援人员成功联系上其中一人的消息,或许能给全球成千上万焦急等待亲人音讯的家庭带来希望。

CBS新闻仍在核实该事件的细节,目前尚不清楚尼泊尔相关机构联系上的这名美国公民身份、所处地点以及健康状况。

当局表示,截至周二,仅尼泊尔境内就仍有超过4600人被认为失联,确认遇难人数至少为1050人。中国官方已确认西藏地区有16人遇难,边境另一侧的西藏境内仍有超过550人失联。

据尼泊尔总理透露,该国约600名水电厂工人在此次灾害中失联,据信被困在灾区内的多个项目工地中。

搜救团队正在加紧清理堵塞隧道的泥浆,以接近被困工人,目前人们担忧隧道内的氧气可能即将耗尽。

大约一周前,喜马拉雅山区发生山体和冰川崩塌,引发西藏和尼泊尔境内的雪崩,进而引发了这场灾难性山洪。

搜救队伍在下游较远的河床中发现了遇难者遗体。该地区民众均表示,从未见过神圣的特里舒利河水位涨到上周那样的高度。

22岁的罗希特·塔芒一生都住在特里舒利河沿岸的家中。他告诉CBS新闻,上周三河水暴涨时他只能无助地旁观,现在他不会离开这里,“因为我的童年回忆都在这里”。

尼泊尔外交部长周二向CBS新闻表示,当局认为灾害发生时,可能有不少外国游客正在山区徒步旅行,导致他们与外界失去联系,但或许安然无恙。

他满怀希望地表示,比起泥浆和洪水,很快就会有更多好消息从喜马拉雅山区传来。

American missing in wake of Nepal floods contacted, Nepali officials tell CBS News

Kathmandu, Nepal— One of the dozens of U.S. nationals missing in the wake of the devastating flash floods on the Nepal-Tibet border has been contacted, Nepali government officials confirmed to CBS News on Tuesday.

About 85 Americans were still listed as missing, and word that rescuers have managed to contact one could bring hope to thousands of families around the world desperately waiting for word of loved ones.

CBS News was still working to confirm details of the case, and it was unclear who the U.S. national contacted by Nepali agencies might be, where they were located or what condition they were in.

More than 4,600 people were still believed to be missing and at least 1,050 confirmed dead in Nepal alone as of Tuesday, authorities said. Chinese authorities have confirmed that 16 people were killed in Tibet, and more than 550 remained missing on that sided of the border.

About 600 hydroelectric power plant workers are among the missing in Nepal, believed to be trapped inside several projects in the disaster area, according to the Himalayan nation’s prime minister.

Work by search and rescue teams to clear mud-blocked tunnels to reach the workers has continued apace, amid concern that oxygen inside could run out.

It was almost a week ago that a mountainside and glacier collapse in the Himalayas triggered avalanches in Tibet and Nepal, which in turn triggered the devastating flash floods.

Recovery teams have found bodies in riverbeds far downstream. No one in the region can remember the sacred Trishuli River ever swelling higher than it did last week.

Rohit Tamang, 22, has spent his entire life in his home perched above the Trishuli. He told CBS News he watched helplessly when the waters surged last Wednesday, and he’s not leaving now, “because my childhood memories are here.”

Nepal’s foreign minister told CBS News on Tuesday that authorities believe many foreigners may have been hiking in the mountains when the disaster struck, leaving them marooned without communications, but possibly safe.

He was hopeful that, rather than mud and water, more good news could soon come down from the Himalayas.
