【新唐人2013年08月21日訊】中國東北三省及南方的廣東省近日都遭到暴雨襲擊,洪澇成災,城市陷入一片汪洋,大批民眾被積水圍困。部分地區斷水、斷電、斷糧,民眾投訴當局救災不力,媒體也沒有及時報導災情,他們像孤軍一樣無助。而在東北更有網友爆出,洪澇導致死亡幾百人,但當局封鎖消息,並且報導聲稱僅僅死亡幾十人。
受強颱風「尤特」殘留雲系影響,中國南方多個省市暴雨成災,其中廣東全省多地遭受暴雨洪澇、滑坡和泥石流災害影響尤為嚴重。據統計,全省18個市有416萬人受災,直接經濟損失49億元人民幣。
廣東汕頭市潮南三防辦工作人員:「現在的水退的比較慢,有些地方有半腰身高的水,上游不斷的水庫洩洪,因為要保證上游水庫的安全,所以洩洪我們底下就變成水位降的很慢。」
廣東汕頭潮南區因為暴雨、江堤崩決、海水倒灌,大量房屋被淹、民眾被困,部分村莊被洪水圍困超過50個小時。如此危急的災情,中共媒體卻沒有及時跟進報導災情,受災戶只能自力救濟。民眾感覺被漠視。
廣東省司馬浦鎮的居民:「在我這邊最少有六個村莊被淹了,這邊的人(官員)就是不敢往上面報,他們就是怕掉了官帽,要不然怎麼這麼多天了,那個記者甚麼的,我們都沒有見到。在我心裡,政府就是平時說『有困難找政府』,只是說說而已,真正遇到甚麼事,他們跑得比我們還要快。」
大批居民缺水缺糧,等待救援,但政府的救援遲遲未到。潮南的民眾向《新唐人》表示,她的小孩去阿姨家玩,結果遇到大水回不來。
潮南民眾:「她家的房子早就淹掉了,還是寄住在鄰居那邊的,小孩七個,大人就4、5個,在那邊應該是沒有吃的了,現在是水都沒有了,我打了救援電話,一個都沒有,然後說了也沒有用。」
有民眾質問,這個國家在哪裏?援助在哪裏?
大陸獨立評論員老徐在微博上說,很多人質疑為何媒體對水災的報導不如地震那麼積極?有網友一語道破天機:因為地震是天災,可得到救助款。水災特別是垮壩,屬於人禍,是會丟掉烏紗帽的。
另一方面,「十年九旱」的東北地區,卻出現少見的特大汛情。8月16號,特大暴雨襲擊遼寧省撫順市清原縣,爆發特大洪水和泥石流,清原縣南口前鎮災情嚴重。
北方這邊的網友朱笑塵在微博上發出求救信息。他說,撫順清原南口前!水庫決堤初步調查!六百人遇難!現死亡人數還在上升!幾個村子都消失了!很多人站在房頂!幾秒鐘!被洪水捲走!沒有救援!沒有補給!封閉現場!媒體沒有報導!
紅透山鎮陳先生:「紅透山這個地方都是樓,一樓被灌進水了,其他都沒甚麼了,紅透山前面的地方,南口前那塊,聽說死了好幾百了。」
南口前鎮肖女士:「大概數字光是前鎮這邊在500人左右,在當地已經開始產生臭味了,不行了,這裡不能待了,我們就出來了,我們是跨了幾條河才出來的,太突然了,沒有任何警告。」
民眾不斷透過網路發出最新的受災情況。網友馬世軒說:最新消息,清原縣南口前現在屍體無人認領直接埋了。地方一片狼藉。臭味漫天!平房、村子全沒了,樓房一樓全沒,屍體有的還在樹上掛著。
[萍水小倦]說:今晚就要把整個南口全封了,到目前為止,搜救面積還不到總受災面積的五分之一,但卻已經發現幾百具屍體了,為何要封起來?政府用意何在?
儘管民間傳出東北有數百人死於這場洪災,現場慘烈,而中共喉舌媒體報導的死亡人數是54人,兩者人數相差懸殊。

Several Hundred Reported Dead In North-East China Floods
Recent torrential rain has hit three Provinces
in North-East China, and Guangdong Province.
It has caused devastating floods, trapping many residents.
Some areas have no drinking water, power supplies or food.
The people there are complaining that the
authorities have not provided enough help.
Chinese official media have not reported
timely updated news, and people feel helpless.
Some netizens have revealed that the
floods killed several hundred people.
However, authorities are censoring news, claiming
that only several tens of people have been killed.
Southern China was hit by a strong typhoon
called Utor, causing devastating floods.
In Guangdong Province, heavy rain has caused severe
flooding, triggering landslides and landslides in many areas.
Sources said that more than 4 million citizens
in 18 cities in Guangdong are affected by floods.
The direct economic impact is estimated
to be 4.9 billion Yuan (US$800 million).
Staff member, Shantour Three Prevention Headquarter
in Guangdong: “The water is receding very slowly.
Water levels in some areas reached waist-height.
Upstream reservoirs are constantly flowing
over their spillways, as they need to ensure
upstream regions remain at safe levels.
Thus the upstream discharged water has
caused downstream waters to recede slowly.”
The torrential rain in Chaonan District, Shantou
in Guangdong caused the river banks to collapse.
Seawaters also poured inland, where many
houses were flooded, and citizens trapped.
Some villages have been surrounded
by water for more than 50 hours.
However, the Chinese Communist Party’s (CCP)
media didn’t report timely news of the severe situation.
The trapped people were left to rescue each
other, and citizens feel they are being ignored.
Resident, Simapu Township, Guangdong:
“Here, at least six villages were covered by floods.
Local officials dare not report this to the higher-level
government, as they worried about losing their position.
Why didn’t we see journalists
come. We have seen nobody.
I know that the government always said, ‘if there is
any problem, come to see them’. It is only an empty talk.
When we face real difficulties, they
run away faster than anyone of us.”
The majority of the flood hit citizens lack water and
food, and were waiting for the arrival of supplies.
However, the government supplies didn’t arrive.
A person from Hunan province told NTD that
her children went to the neighbor’s house,
but couldn’t come back due to the floods.
Hunan resident: “The neighbor’s house has
been flooded, and my kids stayed over there.
In that house there are 7 children and 5 adults.
They have no food, nor is the water drinkable.
I called a rescue phone number, but no one wants to
go there. Even when I explained, no one tried to help.”
Some people questioned where
their nation is? Where is the rescue?
Lao Xu, an independent commentator in Mainland
China commented on the Weibo microblog.
Xu said that many people questioned why
the media didn’t actively report on the floods,
such as when they reported on the earthquake?
Netizens replied that the earthquake
was a heavenly disaster, so they can help.
But flooding is manmade, especially the burst banks,
so the regime will be criticized if it is reported.
In North-East China, the traditional climate is
described as “nine years drought out of ten”.
However, it is now facing rare floods.
On August 16, heavy rain also hit Qingyuan
County of Fushun City, Liangning Province.
It caused devastating floods and landslides. The situation
in Qingkouqian township in Qingyuan County is severe.
Netizen “Zhu Xiaochen” asked for help on a Weibo microblog,
saying that the reservoir has burst in Nankouqian township.
600 citizens were killed, and the death toll is
increasing. Several villages have been swept away.
Many residents climbed onto their roofs,
only to be swept away seconds later.
There has been no rescue, and no
supplies. Media reports were blocked.
Mr. Chen, Hongtoushan township:
“Hongtoushan township is made of raised buildings.
The first floors are covered by flood, but nothing else.
Near the Hongtoushan township is Nankouqian
township. I heard several hundred people were killed there.”
Ms Xiao, resident from Nankouqian Township:
“About 500 people died here in Nankouqian.
We can smell the stink now, and it is
hopeless. We can’t stay any longer.
We walked out. We have crossed over a several rivers.
It happened all of a sudden. There was no warning at all.”
People continuing to send updated news via the internet.
Netizen “@MaShixuan” said: “The latest news is
that dead bodies in Nankouqian are directly buried
if no one collects them. What a mess place, smelly.
Houses and villages all disappeared. The
building’s first floors were covered by water.
Some dead corpses still hang in the trees.”
Netizen “@Pingshuxiaojuan” said: “The whole
Nankouqian will be blockaded this evening.
Until now, rescue efforts have only
covered 20% of the disaster areas.
Several hundred dead bodies have already
been found. Why do they blockade the area?
What does the government intend to do?”
Although citizens reported several hundred
people have died in three provinces in North
East China, these scenes are censored.
The CCP state controlled media reported that the death
toll is only 54, which is very different from local reports.
