尼泊爾洪災數週後，仍有數千人失蹤，多數尋獲遺體身分未明
新德里，9月16日（路透社）——尼泊爾當局週三表示，毀滅性洪災後尋獲的遺體中，只有約7%已確認身分，凸顯協助數千個家庭查明親人下落的工作規模龐大。NEW DELHI, Sept 16 (Reuters) - Nepali authorities said on Wednesday that only about 7% of the bodies recovered after the devastating flood have been identified, underscoring the scale of the work involved in helping thousands of families find out the fate of loved ones.
冰河崩塌引發泥沙、岩石與洪水傾瀉而下已過數週，生還者獲救希望逐漸渺茫，罹難者親屬仍持續要求當局給出答案。Weeks after the torrent of mud, rocks and water was unleashed by a glacial collapse, relatives continue to seek answers from authorities as hopes of finding survivors fade.
尼泊爾國家減災與管理局（Nepal's National Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Authority）在發給路透社的電子郵件聲明中表示，這場災難席捲山區聚落與水力發電設施，造成至少1,399人死亡，目前仍有約5,200人失蹤，其中包括636名外國人。About 5,200 people remain missing, including 636 foreigners, after the disaster swept through mountain communities and hydropower sites, killing at least 1,399 people, Nepal's National Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Authority said in an emailed statement to Reuters.
該機構表示，已從1,206具遺體採集DNA樣本，並向失蹤者家屬採集1,889份樣本。The agency said it collected DNA samples from 1,206 bodies and 1,889 samples from family members of the missing.
該機構並稱，儘管如此，目前整體而言僅有105具遺體已確認身分並交還家屬。Despite that, overall only 105 bodies have been identified and handed to family members, it added.
當局已投入熱顯像無人機與直升機進行搜救，並請來專家營救受困隧道的工人。Authorities have deployed thermal drones and helicopters in the search and brought in specialists to rescue workers trapped in tunnels.
搜尋失蹤者的行動中，出現了幾起令人矚目的救援案例，成功救出受困在尼泊爾水力發電廠隧道內的人員。The search for the missing has led to a few remarkable rescues of people trapped in tunnels of Nepal's hydropower plants.
但外國公民家屬表示，救援行動相關資訊原本定期發布，如今已變得較少。But the once regular flow of information about the rescue effort has slowed, families of foreign nationals said.
該部門表示：「空域狹窄、山區地形複雜，以及堆積的碎屑規模龐大，是定位失蹤者的主要挑戰。」"Narrow airspace, difficult geographical mountainous terrain and scale of debris deposited are the major challenges on locating the missing," the department said.
該部門補充說，正透過直接與間接管道，定期向各國大使館及家屬提供最新資訊。It added that it was providing regular updates to embassies and families through direct and indirect channels.
