日本的洪水繼續氾濫 死亡人數升至68

3日起豪雨侵襲日本，引起許多地區發生土石流與水災，災情不斷更新。根據《朝日新聞》、日本《NHK》電視台報導，至7日下午5點左右，已造成至少46人死亡、47人失蹤。

Japan’s race against time.

More that three million people were told to evacuate to higher ground or shelters as flooding and landslides destroyed homes and killed at least 68 people by Sunday afternoon, with 56 more missing.

Japanese officials pleaded with residents to “take adequate actions and follow evacuation instructions” as forecasters predicted more rain.

At a meeting of an emergency disaster countermeasure task force the government set up on Sunday, Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe said it's a race against time as many people are still missing, isolated or waiting to be rescued. He said the 54,000 people mobilized in the search and rescue operations must be flexible in responding to the changing situations.

【即時頭條】日本的「歷史性」洪水繼續氾濫 死亡人數升至54

日本西部爆發的洪水和山體滑坡已造成至少54人死亡，迫使數千人離開家園，並使得從松下、亞馬遜等公司暫停業務。

這次被稱為「歷史性降雨」的災害所致死亡人數在周日早上較週六增加了一倍，當地電視台的畫面顯示河水氾濫、車輛被淹、道路倒塌和房屋被山體滑坡壓垮。據共同社報道，目前逾40人失蹤，而影響430萬人的疏散令也還未撤銷。由於降雨還在持續，日本政府周日仍維持著洪水警報。

據日經報道，松下在岡山的一家攝影機生產廠停工，亞馬遜當地的配送中心也已歇業。NTT Docomo Inc.稱，從京都到廣島，多地手機信號都受到了影響。

由於無法採購零件，三菱汽車岡山工廠停工，豐田汽車公司的微型車製造子公司大發工業表示，其大阪和京都兩家工廠也出於同樣的原因停工。馬自達的一位公司代表稱，該公司週六已暫停廣島一家工廠週末的生產活動。

另外，日本氣象廳稱千葉海岸週六晚上發生了6.0級地震。這次地震震動了東京的建築物，但政府表示眼下沒有發生海嘯的危險，當地媒體報道稱損害有限。（撰文：Yuji Nakamura、Takako Taniguchi、Kurumi Mori）
