代尔拜拉赫因降雨引发的堤岸坍塌事故现场。目击者讲述在“恐怖”的加沙山体滑坡中抢救被掩埋人员的经过 大风和暴雨导致俯瞰流离失所家庭营地的沙堤坍塌 目击者描述了在加沙因大风暴雨引发山体滑坡后，人们疯狂抢救被掩埋的一家三口的情景。周日，代尔拜拉赫以南一处俯瞰流离失所家庭营地的沙堤坍塌，造成五人死亡，至少三顶帐篷被压毁。
The aftermath of the rain-triggered embankment collapse in Deir al-Balah. Witnesses recount struggle to save people buried in ‘horrifying’ Gaza landslide High winds and heavy train triggered collapse of sand bank overlooking camp for displaced families Witnesses have described the frantic struggle to save three members of a family buried by a landslide triggered by high winds and heavy rain in Gaza A sand bank overlooking a camp for displaced families south of Deir al-Balah collapsed on Sunday, killing five people and crushing at least three tents.
“景象太恐怖了，”来自加沙北部贝特哈农伊兹巴特的30岁阿卜杜勒·卡里姆·萨哈尔说。“我们看到人们被埋在沙子和石头下面。他们没有一个动弹或发出声音。甚至连帐篷都完全消失了，一点痕迹都没留下。”遇难者中包括一名8岁儿童、一名6岁儿童及其母亲。
“It was a horrifying sight,” said Abdul Karim al-Sahhar, 30, originally from Izbat Beit Hanoun in northern Gaza. “We saw people buried beneath the sand and rocks. None of them was moving or making a sound. Even the tent had disappeared completely. There was no trace of it left.”Among the casualties was an eight-year-old, a six-year-old and their mother.
萨哈尔自己的住所也在山体滑坡中严重受损。他说，孩子们的父亲当时不在家庭帐篷内，因此幸免于难。“其中一个孩子叫他回去一起吃饭，”他说。“他回来晚了一点，塌方就发生了。
Sahhar, whose own shelter was badly damaged in the landslide, said the children’s father was outside the family tent and so survived. “One of his children had called him to come and eat with them,” he said. “He was a little late returning, and then the collapse happened.
“父亲开始大喊：‘救救我的孩子！救救我的孩子！’人们赶来开始挖掘，但巨大的石块压在遇难者身上。年轻人不得不把大石头砸碎，才能接触到下面被埋的人。”
“The father started shouting: ‘Save my children! Save my children!’ People came and started digging [but] there was a huge boulder on top of the victims. The young men had to break it into pieces so they could reach the people buried underneath.”
另一名目击者阿布·达尔巴利说，堤岸坍塌的声音像爆炸一样。“我们发现三顶帐篷在山体坍塌压顶后完全被掩埋，”他告诉路透社。“人们在瓦砾下面，我们看不见他们。”社交媒体发布的视频显示，居民用锤子砸碎大石块，其他人用铲子清理沙子，拿着手电筒在下面搜寻被困人员。巴勒斯坦人在致命沙堤坍塌现场清理沙子。
Abu Darbali, another witness, said the collapse of the embankment sounded like an explosion. “We found that three tents were covered completely after the mountain collapsed on top of them,” he told Reuters. “People were under the rubble and we couldn’t see them.”Video posted to social media showed residents using hammers to break large rocks and others removing sand with shovels, searching for people trapped underneath using flashlights. Palestinians remove sand at the site of the deadly sand bank collapse.
联合国表示，周末的暴雨过后，已有超过26,000户家庭报告住所或财物受损。
The UN said more than 26,000 households had reported damage to shelters or belongings after the weekend’s rainstorms.
加沙230万人口中的绝大多数生活在帐篷营地或被炸毁建筑的废墟中，自2023年10月哈马斯袭击以色列南部后，以色列发动了持续两年的军事攻势，重建工作尚未开始。
The vast majority of Gaza’s population of 2.3 million live in tent encampments or the ruins of bombed-out buildings, with reconstruction yet to begin after Israel’s relentless two-year military assault launched after the Hamas attacks on southern Israel in October 2023.
联合国儿童基金会发言人托比·弗里克说：“[本周末的]倒塌早晚会发生。[加沙]极度拥挤。人们只能到处寻找落脚点。”联合国儿童基金会一直在努力防止类似悲剧，并改善流离失所者营地的排水系统。
“The collapse [this weekend] was waiting to happen. [Gaza] is extremely overcrowded. People are just trying to find a place wherever,” said Toby Fricker, a spokesperson for Unicef, which has been working to prevent similar tragedies and improve drainage in camps for the displaced.
哈马斯控制的政府媒体办公室在一份声明中表示，降雨“第一天，约70,000顶庇护数万流离失所者的帐篷被淹”。声明还指出，“各地数十处开裂的墙壁和屋顶倒塌，造成人员受伤”，其中一些伤势严重。
In a statement, the Hamas-run government media office said about “70,000 tents sheltering tens of thousands of displaced people were flooded on the first day” of rains. It also noted the “collapse of dozens of cracked walls and roofs, which caused injuries”, some critical, in various areas of the tiny territory.
美国斡旋的停火协议去年要求最终重建加沙，但进展甚微。谈判代表未能就哈马斯解除武装或以色列撤军的条款达成一致，以色列军队控制着约三分之二的领土，并下令居民撤离这些地区。以色列表示，在哈马斯解除武装之前，无法进行任何重建。
A US-brokered ceasefire last year called for the eventual reconstruction of Gaza, but little progress has been made. Negotiators have failed to agree on terms for Hamas to disarm or for Israel to withdraw its troops, which control about two-thirds of the territory from which residents have been ordered to leave. Israel says no reconstruction can happen before Hamas is disarmed.
萨哈尔说，他和家人现在无家可归。“我的帐篷和我拥有的一切现在都埋在沙子下面。我的床垫、家用器具和所有财物——一切都被埋了。我什么也拿不回来，”他说。巴勒斯坦人查看一大块砂岩板坍塌后被掩埋在岩石下的帐篷。
Sahhar said he and his family were now homeless. “My tent and everything I own are now buried under the sand. My mattress, household utensils and all my belongings – everything was buried. I could not retrieve anything,” he said. Palestinians inspect tents buried under rocks following the collapse of a large sandstone slab.
加沙市议会成员穆斯塔法·卡扎特说，自停火宣布以来，以色列不允许预制房屋进入为流离失所者提供庇护，只允许有限数量的帐篷进入。
Mustafa Qazzaat, a member of the Gaza City council, said Israel had not allowed prefabricated homes to shelter the displaced since the truce was announced, and only permitted the entry of limited numbers of tents.
许多所谓的“两用”物品仍受限制，例如金属帐篷支柱。人道主义工作者表示，他们改用从运输食物用的托盘上拆解而来的木制支柱。
Many so-called “dual use” items remain restricted such as metal tent poles. Humanitarian workers said they instead had used wooden poles fashioned from palettes used to transport food.
以色列国防部负责监管加沙援助事务的机构“加沙民事事务协调员办公室”（Cogat）表示，已有超过9.1万顶帐篷、超过8200车防水布、毛毯和冬装运抵加沙，此外还有运送燃料和发动机油的车队，用于为抽水设施和其他人道主义设施提供动力。
Cogat, the Israeli defence ministry body that oversees aid to Gaza, said over 91,000 tents and over 8,200 trucks containing tarpaulins, blankets and winter clothinghad reached Gaza, as well as convoys carrying supplies of fuel and engine oil to power pumping facilities and other humanitarian installations.
今年早些时候，一项沙特阿拉伯为流离失所的巴勒斯坦人提供庇护的评估显示，仅能提供有限的防雨防风保护。
Earlier this year, an assessment Saudi Arabia to shelter displaced Palestinians offered only limited protection against rain and wind.
