 アフガニスタン北東部で洪水。数百名規模で死者発生。

The dramatic floods in north-east Afghanistan last week saw homes swept away, roads destroyed and hundreds killed.

Many of those affected live in remote areas many hours drive from the nearest city.

The BBC spent a day at one of the area's worst affected villages, gathering testimonies and videos filmed at the time to piece together stories of incredible rescues of children from the flood waters.


 何もかも水没した―というくらいのもの。
 本邦の場合、洪水発生を予期しての国土づくりをしており、近年は死者はさほどでない感がある。他所さんはずっぱずぱでますね、死者…。

BBC Afghanistan floods: ‘I found my family's bodies in the streets’ 3 days ago
By Yama Bariz and Caroline Davies

The day after the flood waters hit, Noor Mohammed found the bodies of his family in the street and in the fields.

The 75-year-old had been just 100m away from his home in northern Afghanistan when he heard the deadly roar of water approaching.

Noor ran towards the house where his wife, sister, son and two of his grandchildren were resting.

But it was too late.

The sudden torrent of water swept away his family and home.


 引用はこれで十分かも:「Of 18 people, 10 of his family died, swept away.」そんなレベルでの大洪水。

 農業も壊滅:「Acres of farmland - fields of cotton and wheat crops - have been completely destroyed.

 家族が残った人も、今後の生活が成り立たなさそう:「Like 80% of Afghans, he depends on agriculture for his income. Mohammad says he is not sure how they will survive.

 というか、洪水が来なくても2400万国民の半分ほどが支援を要する状態だったそうで。
 …大丈夫なもんですかねコレは。

Even before the floods hit, the UN estimated that about 24 million people, more than half the population of Afghanistan, would need some form of humanitarian assistance this year.
