Népal: des inondations et glissements de terrain font 33 morts

Des inondations et glissements de terrain, déclenchés par d'abondantes pluies, ont tué 33 personnes au Népal et une vingtaine sont portées disparues, a annoncé le gouvernement mercredi.


Les pluies de mousson ont fait déborder les rivières dans tout le pays, provoquant inondations et glissements de terrain qui ont détruit des maisons. Deux enfants ont été tués à Katmandou (centre) lorsque leur école s'est partiellement effondrée.

"Depuis lundi, 33 personnes ont été tuées et 23 sont portées disparues en raison des inondations et glissements de terrain dans plusieurs districts", a déclaré le porte-parole adjoint du ministère de l'Intérieur, Jhanka Nath Dhakal.

Les secours ont évacué des centaines de personnes en hélicoptères et en canots pneumatiques.(Belga)

  1. Floods and landslides in Nepal and India have killed more than 90 people in recent days, with at least two million residents forced to flee their homes, officials said Thursday...

    Nepal has been worst hit, with homes and bridges destroyed after days of torrential monsoon rains, although water levels were now receding.

    "Since Monday, 73 people have been killed in the floods and landslides," home ministry deputy spokesman Jhanka Nath Dhakal told AFP, increasing the death toll from Tuesday after the discovery of 15 more bodies.

    "Our teams are working continuously in affected areas to search and rescue. We are also providing relief to the victims."

    Images released by the army, which is involved in the operations, showed villagers waiting on rooftops to be evacuated in motorboats.

    The worst-hit district was Pyuthan, 250 kilometres (150 miles) west of Kathmandu, where dozens of houses have been swept away.

    Scores of people die every year from flooding and landslides during the monsoon rains in Nepal and neighbouring India....AFP
