네팔과 중국 국경의 히말라야 산악지대에서 발생한 대규모 홍수와 토석류로 중국 티베트(시짱) 지역의 인명 피해가 커지고 있다.
According to Yonhap News Agency, as of 6 p.m. local time on September 6, authorities in Tibet's Jilong County reported 43 confirmed deaths and 519 individuals missing.
Chinese officials previously announced that among the missing are foreigners from 23 countries, including Nepal, India, Latvia, the United States, and the United Kingdom.
However, specific identities or nationalities of the foreign missing persons have not yet been disclosed.
The disaster was triggered by a glacier collapse in Nepal's Langtang region on August 26, which led to massive landslides and debris flows. The debris flow struck Jilong County, located at an elevation of approximately 1,800 meters, exacerbating the situation on the Chinese side.
On September 2, Chinese authorities began restoring the road connecting Jilong County to the Jilong Customs, deploying heavy machinery to clear obstacles and facilitate rescue operations.
