##印度孟加拉洪水致15人死亡，两国政府紧急应对
中新社北京8月22日电 据外媒报道，孟加拉国和印度东北部地区近期遭遇洪水侵袭，截至22日，洪水已造成至少15人死亡，其中印度11人，孟加拉国4人。
印度东北部特里普拉邦受灾最为严重，11名死者均来自该邦，其中7人溺水身亡，4人死于泥石流。印度气象局已针对特里普拉邦洪灾发布红色警报，该邦已设立300多处安置营地。特里普拉邦首席部长马尼克·萨哈表示，当地政府正在密切关注洪灾情况，并尽力为受灾民众提供支持。
孟加拉国东部地区同样遭受洪水重创，一名孕妇在阿库拉乌帕齐拉意外落水身亡，另有3人在科米拉市因溺水或触电身亡。据路透社报道，洪水已造成孟加拉国近300万人受灾。孟加拉国洪水预报和预警中心警告称，随着降雨持续，水位可能在未来24小时内进一步上升，引发更多洪水。该中心表示，孟加拉国5条主要河流的水位已超过危险水平，受影响最严重的地区包括费尼、穆尔维巴扎尔、哈比甘杰、科米拉和吉大港。
孟加拉国灾害管理和救灾官员表示，该国多个地区的道路被切断，导致社区被孤立，救灾工作受阻。
21日晚间，孟加拉国首都达卡有学生示威，称该国洪水系印度特里普拉邦一处水坝开闸泄洪所致。印度外交部22日发表声明称，关于洪水“由印度东北部特里普拉邦古姆蒂河上的邓布尔大坝泄洪引起”的说法不正确。声明称，流经印度和孟加拉国的古姆蒂河流域在过去几天遭遇了“今年最大的降雨”，大坝下游水流量大增是造成孟加拉国洪水的主要原因。
目前，两国政府已启动紧急救援行动，并积极协调救灾工作。印度政府已派出军队和救援人员前往灾区，提供救助和物资援助。孟加拉国政府也已调动军队和救援人员，并向灾区提供食物、饮用水和医疗用品。
此次洪水再次提醒人们，气候变化带来的极端天气事件日益频繁，需要各国加强合作，共同应对气候变化带来的挑战。

##Floods in India and Bangladesh Kill 15, Situation Worsens

Flooding in Bangladesh and northeastern India has claimed at least 15 lives as of August 22, with 11 deaths reported in India and4 in Bangladesh.
The Indian state of Tripura has been the worst hit, with all 11 deaths occurring there. Seven people drowned, while fourwere killed by landslides. The India Meteorological Department has issued a red alert for Tripura, and over 300 relief camps have been set up. Tripura Chief Minister Manik Saha said the state government is closely monitoring the situation and providing supportto affected people.
Eastern Bangladesh has also been severely affected by the floods. A pregnant woman died after falling into a river in Akhaura Upazila, while three others died in Comilla due to drowning or electrocution. Accordingto Reuters, the floods have affected nearly 3 million people in Bangladesh. The Bangladesh Flood Forecasting and Warning Center has warned that water levels could rise further in the next 24 hours due to continued rainfall, leading to more flooding. The center said water levels in five major rivers in Bangladesh have exceeded danger levels, withthe most affected areas including Feni, Moulvibazar, Habiganj, Comilla, and Chittagong.
Disaster management and relief officials in Bangladesh said roads in several areas have been cut off, isolating communities and hindering relief efforts.
On the evening of August 21, students in Dhaka,the capital of Bangladesh, protested, claiming that the floods were caused by the release of water from a dam in Tripura, India. The Indian Ministry of External Affairs issued a statement on August 22, stating that the claim that the floods were caused by the release of water from the Dumboor Dam on the Gumti River in Tripura was incorrect. The statement said the Gumti River basin, which flows through both India and Bangladesh, had experienced “the highest rainfall this year” in the past few days, and the increased water flow downstream of the dam was the main cause of the floods in Bangladesh.
Both governments have launched emergencyrescue operations and are actively coordinating relief efforts. The Indian government has deployed troops and rescue personnel to the affected areas, providing rescue and material assistance. The Bangladeshi government has also mobilized troops and rescue personnel and is providing food, drinking water, and medical supplies to the affected areas.
This flood serves as a reminder thatextreme weather events caused by climate change are becoming increasingly frequent, and countries need to strengthen cooperation to address the challenges posed by climate change.
