At least 27 people have been killed in Nepal after torrential monsoon rains caused floods and landslides, according to officials.

政府によると、痛烈なモンスーンが洪水と、地滑りにより、少なくとも27人の人々が殺された。

 

 

Incessant rain since Thursday pounded much of the Himalayan nation tucked between China and India, with particularly severe downpours in the country's eastern region and its southern plains.

木曜日以降、絶え間ない雨は中国とインドの間に挟まれている、ヒマラヤ山脈に溜まりとりわけ国の東側の地域と、南の平原に深刻な土砂降りを引き起こしている。

 

 

Bishwaraj Pokharel, a spokesperson for Nepal Police, told AFP news agency that in addition to the dozens killed, at least 11 people were injured and 15 others reported missing. Nepal's security forces have been deployed to assist ongoing search and rescue operations.

ネパール警察の代理人であるBishwaraj Pokharel氏はAFP news agency に対し、少なくとも11人のけが、そして15人の行方不明者、数十人の死亡が確認されていると伝えた。ネパールの治安部隊は、進行中の捜索救助活動を支援するために配置されている。

 

 

Three of the victims were killed when a wall collapsed near the capital Kathmandu.

3人の犠牲は首都のカトマンズの近くでの壁が崩壊したときのことであった。

 

 

"The wall suddenly crumbled, we thought it was an earthquake. By the time we came out the house was broken," said Kundan Kumar Sharma, a local resident.

 「その壁は突然崩壊し、我々は地震かと思った。家が崩れ始めるのに気づくまでは。」と地元住民のKundan Kumar Sharmaは述べた。
