(中央社記者李晉緯新德里30日專電)28名來自印度的民眾計畫前往尼泊爾、西藏邊境地區朝聖,他們在旅途中因為喝茶休息,耽擱了10分鐘,躲過尼泊爾致命洪災,與死神擦身而過。

尼泊爾、中國西藏邊境26日爆發致命土石流,已知造成逾600人喪命、近3000人失聯。

印度時報(Times of India)今天報導,來自印度安德拉邦(Andhra Pradesh)、泰倫加納邦(Telangana)、卡納塔卡邦(Karnataka)的28人,在尼泊爾洪災中倖免於難,目前已各自返家。

該團成員之一告訴印度時報,他們原訂前往尼泊爾、西藏邊境朝聖,途中短暫停下喝茶,休息了10分鐘,因此撿回一命。

這名印度民眾說:「我們本來會早點到的,但喝茶休息了10分鐘,那救了我們全團28人的命,之後司機也迅速因應,繞其他安全的路走,把我們送到安全的地方。」

同團另名印度民眾表示,他們大約上午6時30分左右離開飯店,坐了一會兒車後,停下來喝茶休息,不久後司機收到前方有洪災的消息,立刻決定不再往前開,然後把大家送到安全的地方。

他說:「我們親眼看到好幾輛巴士被洪水沖走,好幾個村莊都被沖毀,到處充滿緊張的氣息,我們強忍著恐慌,讓司機載我們回到加德滿都的飯店。」

另一名印度民眾告訴印度時報說:「我們原本要前往發生災難的地方,但因為辦簽證的過程延誤了3天,我們整個行程也延誤了,否則我們當時已經在那裡,可能也都沒命了。」

尼泊爾洪災後進入第5天,美國地質調查所(USGS)表示,這場災難是尼泊爾自2015年地震以來最致命的一場災害,起因是冰川崩塌,引發大量冰雪與碎屑形成的洪流。

根據尼泊爾與中國公布的數據,目前失蹤人數接近3000人,已尋獲691具遺體。尼泊爾當局今天警告,洪水的水位持續在升高,呼籲救援團隊提高警戒。(編輯:唐聲揚)
