(中央社雪梨4日綜合外電報導)澳洲災害應變專家今天啟程前往尼泊爾,加入喜馬拉雅山區洪災搜救行動;目前仍有36名澳洲公民在洪災中下落不明,澳洲政府對他們的安危表達「高度關切」。

路透社報導,尼泊爾與中國西藏邊境8月26日因冰川崩塌引發大洪水,目前超過1200人罹難,逾5000人失蹤。尼泊爾政府表示,失蹤人口中有583人為外國公民。

澳洲有關當局指出,應尼泊爾政府的請求,澳洲派出15人災害援助應變小組,成員大多為各州緊急應變部門的無人機操作人員。

新南威爾斯州(New South Wales)消防與救援局局長費崔爾(Jeremy Fewtrell)今天在雪梨機場對媒體表示:「我們仍抱持希望,相信在某些地方可能還有人生還,盼望這支隊伍能協助找到他們。」

他說:「這個團隊主要由我們專責無人機的操作人員組成。」他還說他們配備各種無人機,能從空中勘查大範圍區域,也能在搜救人員難以進入的狹窄空間內飛行。

另外,7名澳洲聯邦警察災害罹難者身分鑑識專家也預定明天抵達尼泊爾。
