据官方消息，尼泊尔北部边境地区山谷周三遭遇山洪暴发，已造成至少18人死亡，380多人失踪。尼泊尔旅游委员会援引旅游公司的信息称，在登记失踪的291名外国游客中，至少有3名美国公民。
山洪摧毁了多个村庄，冲击了房屋、道路、桥梁和发电厂。地区新闻媒体播出并在社交媒体上发布的视频显示，湍急的洪水席卷山谷和山间通道，冲垮桥梁和水坝，卷走建筑物。
哥伦比亚广播公司（CBS）的英国合作媒体英国广播公司（BBC）援引警方声明称，死亡人数为18人，但未公布遇难者的国籍。
周三上午，位于首都加德满都北部的尼泊尔北部拉苏瓦区的波蒂科西河水位突然暴涨，迅速影响了邻近的努瓦科特县和达丁县。
尼泊尔总统拉姆钱德拉·保德尔表示，他对“突如其来的洪水造成的生命和财产损失”感到“极度悲痛”。

他呼吁政府、各政党、机构和公众加大救援和救灾力度。
据路透社援引地区行政官纳伦德拉·帕里亚尔的话称：“可能会出现严重的人员伤亡或财产损失。”他还呼吁波蒂科西河沿岸居民转移到地势更高的地方。
路透社报道称，尼泊尔多山地形遍布深谷和狭窄峡谷，给救援和救灾工作带来挑战。直升机无法在西普鲁贝西和蒂穆尔的受灾地区降落。
除3名美国公民外，报告失踪的291名外国游客还包括12名英国人、142名印度人、17名马来西亚人、4名南非人、8名韩国人、1名澳大利亚人和1名荷兰人。官方表示，另有111名失踪人员的国籍尚未确定。
大部分失踪的外国游客均参加了旅游公司组织的旅行团。
尼泊尔外交大臣希希尔·哈纳尔称，此次山洪是由地震引发大规模山体滑坡堵塞波蒂科西河所致。

尼泊尔电力局（NEA）证实，其6座主要水电和输电设施在洪水中受损。
尼泊尔警方发言人阿比·纳拉扬·卡夫勒对法新社表示：“我们尚不清楚具体的破坏程度，但此次洪水规模很大，可能已经破坏了许多定居点。”“我们已经警告沿河居民撤离，并调动了所有可用资源。”
尼泊尔总理巴伦·沙阿在社交媒体帖子中写道：“已与医疗队、童子军和红十字会协调，开始采取必要措施。”
印度政府已下令与尼泊尔接壤的各邦当局高度戒备。
Nepal flash flood tears through valley leaving 400 tourists missing, including Americans

At least 18 people were killed and more than 380 listed as missing Wednesday in Nepal after flash flooding tore through valleys in the Himalayan country’s northern border areas, according to authorities. At least three U.S. nationals were among the 291 foreigners listed as missing, according to Nepal’s Tourism Board, citing information from tour companies.
The flash floods decimated villages, slamming into houses, roads, bridges and power plants. Videos broadcast by regional news outlets and posted on social media show violent torrents of water surging through valleys and mountain passes, tearing down bridges and dams and sweeping away buildings.
CBS News’ British partner network BBC cited a statement by police putting the death toll at 18, but there was no word on the nationalities of the casualties.
A sudden surge of water Wednesday morning in the Bhote Koshi River, in the country’s northern Rasuwa district north of capital Kathmandu, quickly affected the neighboring Nuwakot and Dhading districts.
Nepali President Ramachandra Paudel said he was “extremely saddened” by the “loss of lives and property caused by the sudden flood.”

He called on the government, political parties, agencies and the general public to intensify rescue and relief efforts.
“There could be heavy casualties or loss of property,” district administrator Narendra Pariyar was quoted as saying by Reuters. He has also urged people living along the banks of the Bhote Koshi River to move to higher ground.
Nepal’s mountainous terrain, dotted with deep valleys and narrow gorges, makes rescue and relief operations challenging. Helicopters could not land in the affected areas of Syapru Besi and Timure, Reuters said.
In addition to the three Americans, the 291 foreign nationals reported missing included 12 British, 142 Indian, 17 Malaysian, four South African, eight South Korean, one Australian and one Dutch national. The nationalities of 111 other missing people had yet to be ascertained, authorities said.
Most of the missing foreigners were on trips organized by tourism and travel companies.
The flash flood was caused by an earthquake that triggered a large landslide, which blocked the Bhote Koshi River, according to Nepal’s Foreign Minister Shishir Khanal.

The Nepal Electricity Authority (NEA) confirmed that six of its major hydropower and transmission facilities were damaged in the flooding.
“We do not exactly know the extent of damage, but the flood is big, and it could have damaged many settlements,” Nepal Police spokesman Abi Narayan Kafle told the French news agency AFP. “We have alerted people who are staying near the riverside to relocate … and deployed all our resources.”
“Work has started to take necessary steps in coordination with the medical team, scouts, and Red Cross,” Nepal’s Prime Minister Balen Shah wrote in a social media post.
India’s government ordered authorities in states along the Nepal border to be on high alert.
