00:00Always, the public opinion sensor is shy.
00:01Currently, another emergency evacuation order has been issued in the Himalayan region on the border between Nepal and China.
00:05According to the Nepalese police, information has been received that another dam has collapsed on the side of the Tibet
00:09Autonomous Region in China.
00:10As a result, even the personnel who were conducting rescue and relief operations in the area are now evacuating immediately.
00:15The Nepalese police have requested rescue workers, security personnel, and local residents to move to safe locations.
00:20In particular, considering the possibility of additional water flowing into downstream areas,
00:23they urge people to move to higher ground and to continuously report on the situation at the site.
00:27With news of additional collapses coming from areas already affected by large-scale flooding,
00:31even the safety of rescue workers on the scene is now being threatened.
00:34According to Reuters, in the Rasuo region of Bagmati province in northern Nepal,
00:37rescue operations using helicopters have also been temporarily suspended.
00:41As it has become more difficult for rescue teams to access the affected areas,
00:44some villagers are reportedly moving quickly to hills and higher ground.
00:48The fact that evacuation has resumed while rescue operations were underway suggests that the situation on the ground is extremely
00:53dangerous.
00:53This incident has continued since the glacier collapse and massive flooding that occurred near the Tibet-Nepal border on the
00:5826th.
00:59So far, at least 475 people have been reported dead,
01:02and more than 1,400 are missing in Nepal and the Girong area of the Tibet Autonomous Region in China.
01:07With additional reports of dam collapses emerging,
01:09there is a growing possibility that search efforts for the missing and recovery operations may face further setback.
01:14The most important thing right now is to prevent further loss of life by preparing for additional water inflow.
01:18The Nepalese authorities are prioritizing safety by even withdrawing rescue workers from the site.
01:23On site, there is ongoing vigilance against further collapses,
01:26and it remains uncertain when rescue operations can resume.
