西班牙南部严重林火致至少11人死亡19人失踪Severe Wildfire in Southern Spain Kills at least 11 and Leaves 19 Missing

西班牙南部安达卢西亚自治区阿尔梅里亚省发生严重林火，目前已确认造成至少11人死亡。安达卢西亚自治区政府在周五上午发布的一份声明中，最初将遇难人数公布为12人，但随后将这一数字修正为11人。根据官方通报，周四晚间，阿尔梅里亚省贝达尔的一个村落已有6人确认死亡，随后在洛斯加利亚多斯又发现了6具遗体，从而使最初统计的遇难总数达到12人，但随后官方对该数据进行了下调。

A severe wildfire in Almeria province, located in the southern Spanish region of Andalusia, has been confirmed to have killed at least 11 people. In a statement released on Friday morning, the Andalusian regional government initially reported that 12 people had died, but authorities later revised the death toll down to 11. According to official reports, six people had been confirmed dead in a hamlet of Bedar as of late Thursday evening, and six more bodies were subsequently discovered in Los Gallardos, which had temporarily brought the reported total to 12 before the official correction.

除了已确认的遇难者外，目前仍有19人处于失踪状态。安达卢西亚自治区主席胡安马·莫雷诺在接受塞尔电台采访时证实了这一失踪人数。随着搜救和清理工作的继续，地方当局正在努力确认灾区的具体受灾范围，并对失踪人员展开搜寻。

In addition to the confirmed fatalities, 19 people remain unaccounted for in the wake of the blaze. Andalusia's regional leader, Juanma Moreno, confirmed the number of missing individuals during an interview with the Cadena Ser radio station. Local authorities are continuing their search and rescue efforts as they work to determine the full extent of the casualties in the affected areas.

根据安达卢西亚自治区政府的通报，遇难者的遗体是在阿尔梅里亚省贝达尔小村庄及其周边的洛斯加利亚多斯地区被发现的。在周四晚间确认遇难的死者中，有四具遗体是在受困的车辆中被寻获。救援人员特别指出，其中一辆发现遗体的车辆为右舵车。目前，针对这些遇难者的正式身份确认工作仍在紧张进行中。

According to reports from the Andalusian regional government, the bodies of the victims were discovered in and around the small village of Bedar, located just outside Los Gallardos in Almeria province. Among the fatalities confirmed late Thursday evening, four of the bodies were found trapped inside vehicles. Emergency responders noted that one of the vehicles in which the victims were discovered was a right-hand drive vehicle. Formal identification of the deceased is still actively underway.

尽管最终的身份核实尚未完成，但安达卢西亚自治区负责应急管理事务的官员安东尼奥·桑斯表示，初步迹象显示，大多数甚至可能是全部的遇难者均为外籍人士。另一位地方官员也证实，早期迹象表明，在这些不幸遇难的人员中包括四名英国公民。随着搜救工作的继续，有关部门正努力核实所有受害者的国籍信息。

Although official identification has not yet been completed, Andalusia's Minister of the Presidency, Health, and Emergencies, Antonio Sanz, stated that preliminary indications suggest the majority, or possibly all, of those who died were foreigners. Another local official supported this assessment, noting that early indications show four of the victims are British nationals. Authorities are continuing their efforts to verify the nationalities of all those affected as the investigation proceeds.

根据安达卢西亚自治区主席胡安马·莫雷诺的说法，此次林火的起因疑似为一根倒塌的电线，火势随后在阿尔梅里亚省洛斯加利亚多斯附近的林区迅速蔓延。为了控制火势，数百名救援人员已被部署到现场开展灭火工作。西班牙政府也已紧急动员军事应急部队，派遣其前往灾区协助地方消防员共同应对这起严重的林火灾害。

According to Andalusia's regional leader Juanma Moreno, the wildfire apparently broke out due to a downed power line before spreading rapidly through a wooded area around Los Gallardos in Almeria province. Hundreds of personnel have been deployed to contain the blaze. To bolster these efforts, the Spanish government has mobilized military emergency units to work alongside regional firefighters in controlling the active fire.

在这起灾难性事件发生后，西班牙王室和首相佩德罗·桑切斯均公开表达了深切的哀悼，对在林火中不幸遇难的人员表示哀悼。目前，多支救援力量仍在现场全力协作，试图在极端天气条件下控制火势并防止其进一步扩散。

Following the tragic loss of life, the Spanish royal family and Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez expressed their deep sorrow over the disaster. Emergency teams and military units remain on the ground, coordinating their response to manage the situation as the search for the missing continues.

此次发生在西班牙南部的致命林火，正值持续的极端高温热浪席卷南欧地区之际。今年夏天，整个南欧地区正遭受约40摄氏度（104华氏度）的高温炙烤。气象预报员指出，席卷欧洲的滚滚热浪极大地增加了林火发生的风险，而西班牙等国也正面临着日益频繁且持久的极端高温天气，这些气候条件为重大林火的发生和蔓延创造了温床。

The deadly wildfire in southern Spain comes as a sustained heatwave grips the region, with temperatures hovering around 40 degrees Celsius (104 degrees Fahrenheit). Forecasters note that these extreme heatwaves across Europe this summer have significantly raised the risk of wildfires. Spain, in particular, has suffered from increasingly frequent and prolonged heatwaves, creating highly combustible conditions that facilitate the rapid spread of major blazes.

目前，南欧多国的消防人员正在全力应对多起严重的林火灾情。除西班牙外，法国和葡萄牙等国也爆发了大规模火灾，导致数千名当地居民和游客被迫撤离家园。随着第三波极端热浪袭击该地区，整个南欧对今年夏季林火灾害的担忧正在持续加剧。

Firefighters across southern Europe are currently battling several major incidents, with active blazes reported in France, Portugal, and Spain. The widespread fires have already forced thousands of people to evacuate their homes. As a third wave of extreme heat hits the region, alarm is growing over the escalating summer of blazes threatening communities across southern Europe.
