Emergencia en India: cuatro muertos y cien desaparecidos tras una avalancha de lodo

Las inundaciones repentinas causadas por intensas lluvias sorprendieron a la población del pueblo de Dharali, en el distrito de Uttarkashi en el estado indio de Uttarakhand, después de que un torrente de lodo y agua arrasara el martes un estrecho valle montañoso del Himalaya. Al menos cuatro personas fallecieron y alrededor de cien permanecen desaparecidas, según confirmaron autoridades estatales y federales.
El ministro de Estado de Defensa, Sanjay Seth, declaró a la agencia de noticias Press Trust of India (PTI) que “es una situación grave… Hemos recibido información que indica que hay cuatro muertos y alrededor de 100 personas desaparecidas. Rezamos por su seguridad”. Imágenes difundidas por los medios locales mostraron ríos de agua fangosa arrastrando casas y tiendas, mientras personas intentaban escapar ante la oleada de escombros.
Prashant Arya, funcionario administrativo de la región, detalló que “unos doce hoteles han sido arrastrados y varias tiendas se han derrumbado”. Agregó que el ejército indio, junto con policías y rescatistas, trabajaba en la búsqueda de desaparecidos y en la evacuación de quienes permanecían atrapados bajo los restos de los edificios colapsados. El ejército desplegó 150 soldados que han auxiliado en el rescate de unas 20 personas en las primeras horas tras la tragedia.
El comandante de la Fuerza Estatal de Respuesta a Desastres, Arpan Yaduvanshi, informó que el lodo alcanzó hasta 15 metros de profundidad en algunos puntos, cubriendo por completo varios edificios de la localidad. Una alerta roja por lluvias “extremadamente intensas” fue emitida para Uttarakhand por el Departamento Meteorológico de la India, que también ha pronosticado más precipitaciones en los próximos días para la zona.
El primer ministro de India, Narendra Modi, expresó sus condolencias e indicó que “no se está escatimando ningún esfuerzo para prestar asistencia”. El ministro principal del estado de Uttarakhand, Pushkar Singh Dhami, añadió que las agencias de rescate trabajan “a toda máquina” para salvar vidas y ofrecer alivio a los afectados, señalando que la inundación fue causada por un “aguacero” repentino e intenso.
La Autoridad Nacional de Gestión de Desastres de la India (NDMA) solicitó el despliegue de tres helicópteros para apoyar las tareas de rescate, debido a las dificultades de acceso derivadas del terreno montañoso y las condiciones meteorológicas. Las autoridades ordenaron el cierre de escuelas en varios distritos, incluidos Dehradun y Haridwar, dado el pronóstico de lluvias continuas.
La región ha experimentado un aumento en la frecuencia y gravedad tanto de inundaciones como de deslizamientos de tierra, especialmente durante la temporada del monzón, que va de junio a septiembre. Los expertos en gestión ambiental atribuyen parte de este incremento al cambio climático y al desarrollo urbano no controlado en áreas propensas a desastres, como ocurría en los Himalayas.
En 2013, Uttarakhand enfrentó una tragedia similar cuando lluvias intensas causaron la muerte de más de 6.000 personas y afectaron a 4.500 aldeas. Según un informe de 2023 del Centro Internacional para el Desarrollo Integrado de las Montañas, al menos 200 de los más de 2.000 lagos glaciares de la región podrían desbordarse y causar inundaciones catastróficas río abajo.
De acuerdo con la Base de Datos de Eventos de Emergencia de la Universidad de Louvain, en 2024 ocurrieron 167 desastres en Asia, el número más alto entre todos los continentes, que incluyeron tormentas, inundaciones, olas de calor y terremotos, y causaron pérdidas superiores a 32.000 millones de dólares.
Las autoridades continúan las labores de búsqueda y rescate en Dharali, mientras la población se mantiene alerta ante la amenaza de nuevas precipitaciones y posibles deslizamientos de tierra en la región montañosa del Himalaya.

A group of six criminal illegal aliens have been arrested by ICE in Houston after having collectively illegally entered the country a staggering 42 times.
The six criminal aliens were finally arrested by ICE in the final days of July after two decades’ worth of illegal reentries and after racking up an equally astounding 48 criminal convictions, according to a statement released on Tuesday.
Criminal convictions among the group include cocaine trafficking, grand theft auto, assault, domestic violence and multiple DWIs. One of the illegals is a documented member of a cartel-connected gang.

ICE said the six were arrested by multiagency targeting teams established under the Trump administration to target the «worst of the worst» criminal illegal aliens for removal.
Commenting on the arrests, Gabriel Martinez, ICE Enforcement and Removal Operations Houston acting field office director, thanked the administration for making immigration enforcement a priority so that such criminal illegals «will no longer be able to prey on innocent Americans.»

«For the past 20 years, these six violent criminal aliens have brazenly violated our nation’s immigration and criminal laws, wreaking havoc in our local communities and leaving countless victims in their wake,» said Martinez. «Thanks to the current administration’s focus on securing the border and making immigration enforcement a priority, they have been removed from the local community.»

Brother of Israeli hostage urges UN to act after video shows Hamas starving and torturing captives

NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles!
Ilay David, the brother of 22-year-old hostage Evyatar David, delivered an emotional plea to the United Nations Security Council on Tuesday, calling for urgent international action after a horrific new video showed his emaciated brother being forced to dig his own grave inside a Hamas tunnel.
The Security Council session was requested by Israel and comes as the country stands on the verge of a full annexation of Gaza — a move prompted by the collapse of ceasefire talks and the release of disturbing images of starving hostages.
Evyatar David was abducted from the Nova music festival on Oct. 7, 2024. In the newly received footage, he appears frail — reduced to just 90 pounds — and is seen struggling to speak.

Holding up a still from the video, Ilay David described a haunting visual: «As my younger brother, a living skeleton, was forced to speak and dig his grave, the chubby and well-fed hand of a Hamas terrorist entered the frame. Suddenly, Hamas confirmed what we have known for months — the terrorists have plenty of food. The only ones starving in Hamas’ tunnels are the hostages: my brother, Guy, and the [49] others.»
«My mother and I could not bring ourselves to watch it,» he said, speaking remotely via Zoom, «But my father and sister did. And now the images haunt them.»
Citing testimony from former hostages — including Tal Shoham, whose account was first published by Fox News Digital — David said the terrorists remain in nearby rooms while deliberately starving captives as part of a «sick and twisted propaganda campaign.»
«This is a humanitarian crisis — the crisis of the hostages — that is not being discussed here,» he said. «Not in the Security Council, and not in other U.N. forums. The very soul of humanity is being scarred by Hamas’s barbaric actions.»

Protesters rallied near the United Nations, demanding immediate medical care and the release of hostages held by Hamas. (Yoav Ginsburg/Hostages and Missing Families Forum)
TRUMP: HAMAS SURRENDER, HOSTAGE RELEASE IS ‘FASTEST WAY’ TO END GAZA WAR
The meeting of the U.N. Security Council was convened following the release of the latest hostage video. Israel believes that as few as 20 hostages remain alive in Hamas captivity — many in critical condition, with only days left to live.
Israel’s Foreign Minister Gideon Sa’ar, who attended the session in New York, emphasized ahead of the meeting that while Israel continues to facilitate humanitarian aid into Gaza, Hamas is deliberately starving the hostages.
«Evyatar was forced to dig his own grave. This is satanic,» he said. «These are evil crimes — like those committed by the Nazis and ISIS.»

Sa’ar also warned that recent moves by several nations to unilaterally recognize a Palestinian state have emboldened Hamas and undermined negotiations.
«They gave Hamas free gifts and an incentive to continue this war,» he said. «They directly assassinated the hostage deal and ceasefire. These countries prolonged the war.»
Ilay David ended his address with a desperate appeal: «We, the family of Evyatar, refuse to give up hope. We are weeping, we are suffering, but we are also fighting with every fiber of our being. We will not give up until we see him back home — until my mother and father can hug him again.»

«To the leaders of the world, to every member of this Council, and to the global community: Your silence in the face of this monstrous cruelty is complicity. I urge you — do not let them die. Act now, before it’s too late. Save Evyatar David. Bring my little brother home.»
When asked by reporters at the White House on Tuesday if he had seen the Hamas video of Evyatar David, President Donald Trump said he had, calling it «horrible.»
