尼泊尔-喜马拉雅山洪灾死亡人数超千人，警方借助DNA身份识别

尼泊尔与中国喜马拉雅山边境地区于8月28日发生大规模山洪灾难，由冰川崩塌引发。2截至9月1日，死亡人数已超过1,000人，其中尼泊尔987人、中国16人。2同时，失踪人数仍在上升，尼泊尔约4,000人失踪、中国546人失踪，另有约800名外国人在失踪名单中。2

尼泊尔总理巴伦德拉·沙阿表示，超过11,000人已被救出。1救援队伍已建造临时桥梁并挖掘被摧毁的水电站，以营救被困的数百名工作人员。1约500至600名工人仍被困在多个受灾水电项目内。2

鉴于遇难者识别的困难，尼泊尔警方已要求失踪者亲属提供血液样本和照片，以协助进行DNA身份识别工作。1部分受灾地区的电力和通信已逐步恢复。1

总理沙阿指出，"这一事件表明，随着气候变化，我们在喜马拉雅地区面临的风险正在增加。"2

A catastrophic flood triggered by glacial collapse in the Nepal-Tibet border region of the Himalayas has claimed more than 1,000 lives, with rescue operations ongoing under severe conditions 2. The disaster struck on August 28 and has resulted in massive casualties and displacement across both nations 2. As of September 1, Nepal reported 987 deaths with nearly 4,000 people missing, while China confirmed 16 deaths and 546 missing persons; approximately 800 foreign nationals are also among those unaccounted for 2.

Rescue teams have mobilized extensively to address the crisis, with approximately 500 workers trapped in tunnels across 12 hydroelectric projects 2. According to Nepalese Prime Minister Balendra Shah, more than 11,000 people have been rescued to date 1. Authorities have begun requesting DNA samples and photographs from relatives of the missing to assist with victim identification 1. Rescue efforts have included the construction of temporary bridges and excavation of damaged hydroelectric facilities to access stranded workers 1. Power and communications have been partially restored in some affected areas 1.

Prime Minister Shah attributed the disaster to escalating climate risks in the Himalayan region, stating that "this incident has indicated that the risks we face in the Himalayan region are increasing with climate change" 2. The flooding was caused by flows of ice, rock, and meltwater unleashed by the glacier collapse 2.
