【ビドゥール(ネパール中部)時事】土石流災害から辛うじて生還したネパールの被災者の多くは、一時避難所に身を寄せている。しかし、自宅や財産を失い、将来への不安は募るばかりだ。発生から2日で1週間がたってもなお、被災地では救助や捜索活動が続く。

死者1100人超、4400人不明 土石流1週間、捜索難航―ネパール・中国

「もう故郷には帰れない。次に戻るとしたら私が亡くなった時だろう」。被害の激しかった中部ラスワ郡の主婦ヤン・チェンさん(69)はそう言って目に涙を浮かべた。土石流で義理の娘(26)ら親族3人を失い、自宅も流された。

2日、ラスワ郡にある一時避難所から中部ヌワコット郡ビドゥールの軍駐屯地にヘリで運ばれてきた。自身や夫(80)が持病を抱えており、薬を受け取るためだ。「金もないから薬を買えない。もう何も残っていない」。避難所で出されるのは粗末な食事だけで、電気や電波もないと嘆く。

「あと何日ここにいればいいのか」。避難所となっているビドゥールの学校で、ブッダ・ラル・タナンさん(30)は疲労の色をにじませた。「トゥクトゥク」と呼ばれる三輪自動車タクシーの運転手だったが、「そもそも道路がなくなってしまった。この先どう生きていけばいいか分からない」と不安そうに話した。

被災地では重機が稼働し、土砂の除去や道路の復旧が行われている。ただ、中国国境に近いトリシュリ川沿いの水力発電所トンネルの内部には、いまだ数百人が閉じ込められているとみられ、救出作業が続く。作業に携わる技術者ニルマル・ダハルさん(49)は「大きな岩が入り口をふさぎ入れない。人手やショベルカーが足りない」と語った。

Debris flow disaster occurs in Nepal-China border area, leaving over 1,100 dead and 4,400 missing

It has been a week since the debris flow disaster occurred in the Nepal-China border area, and more than 1,100 people have died in both countries, with more than 4,400 missing. Rescue and search efforts have been difficult due to the rugged terrain and widespread damage in the disaster area. It was announced that 1,114 people were killed and 3,916 people missing on the Nepali side, and 21 people were killed and 541 people missing on the Chinese side. There is still no news of the five Japanese tourists. The United Nations reported that 65,000 people were in need of water and sanitation supplies, and Nepal's Prime Minister Shah said the disaster was caused by climate change and appealed for international cooperation. On the Chinese side, search efforts are expected to make progress now that the road to the border checkpoint has been opened and heavy equipment can be deployed.

The Imperial Household Agency plans to hold the retired emperor's funeral at the palace on a smaller scale than during the time of Emperor Showa.

In response to the wishes of the retired Emperor, the Imperial Household Agency is considering holding a ``Sojoden no Gi,'' which is equivalent to a general funeral ceremony, at the Imperial Palace, and significantly reducing the scale of the ceremony compared to Emperor Showa's funeral, according to interviews with people involved. The Emperor has long wanted to minimize the impact on people's lives, and is considering holding the ceremony in a place where he can safely attend without being affected by weather conditions, such as the Palace's Pine Room. Approximately 10,000 people attended Emperor Showa's funeral at Shinjuku Gyoen National Garden, but the number of attendees is expected to decrease significantly as the venue is changed to the palace.
