记者：纳瓦尔·马格哈菲“这是第一架无人机，”陪同我们在也门西南部的士兵说道，“通常后面会跟着一轮袭击。” 随着我们躲在灌木丛下，头顶的嗡嗡声越来越大，随后我们爬回车内驶离。
By Nawal Al-Maghafi "This is the first drone," said the soldier accompanying us in south-western Yemen. "It's usually followed by an attack." The buzzing sound overhead got louder as we took cover under the bushes, before climbing back into the vehicle and driving away.
约10分钟后，沉重的爆炸声接连响起，尽管不清楚具体落在何处。在泰兹市西南部的群山中，很难分清前线究竟从何处开始。
Within about 10 minutes, the loud thuds of strikes followed, one after another, though it was unclear where they landed. It is hard to tell where the front line begins in the mountains south-west of the city of Taiz.
沙特支持的亲政府武装正在奋力击退胡塞武装，后者本月早些时候沿红海海岸推进，控制了一个关键航运咽喉，导致也门内战升级。
Saudi-backed pro-government forces are battling to push back Houthi fighters, who swept down the coast of the Red Sea earlier this month, taking control of a key shipping chokepoint and escalating Yemen's civil war.
我们随政府军从泰兹出发，穿过检查站抵达其控制权终止、无人区开始的分界线，以近距离目睹战况。房屋散落在山坡上，但许多已被遗弃，家庭为逃避战火而逃离。
We travelled with government forces from Taiz through checkpoints to the line where their control ends and no man's land begins, in order to see the fighting up close.
这里诡异地安静，听不到城市中汽车摩托川流不息的声音，只能听到牲畜的叫声和进出膛炮火的轰鸣。
Homes are scattered across the slopes, but many stand abandoned after families fled to escape the fighting.
“两枚迫击炮弹落在我的地里，”阿里坐在自家门外，身旁是一群山羊，距离前线约1公里（0.6英里）。
It is eerily quiet, no sound of the cars or motorbikes that are continuously whizzing through the city. All you can hear is the bleating of livestock and the sound of incoming and outgoing fire.
他告诉我，因无法忍受炮火和枪声，他已将孩子送往流离失所者营地。他留下与妻子和姐妹照看牲畜。
"Two mortars landed here on my property," said Ali, sitting outside his home with a herd of goats, about 1km (0.6 miles) from the front line.
“我很害怕，”他说，“但别无选择，没有牲畜我们都会饿死。” 他只透露了名字，担心若胡塞武装在未来几天接管该区会遭报复。来自胡塞武装方面的消息称，他们正在集结部队，准备发动大规模攻势。当我们向政府军询问此事时，他们表示知情且也在做准备。
He told me he had sent his children to a displacement camp because they could no longer cope with the shelling and gunfire. He had stayed with his wife and sisters to look after their animals. "I am terrified," he said, "but I have no choice, we will all go hungry without our animals and die anyway." He gave only his first name, fearful of repercussions if the Houthis take over the area in the days ahead. Contacts from the Houthi side have told us they are consolidating troops, preparing for a major offensive. When we asked government forces about this they said they are aware and were preparing too.
在距离前线最近的检查站，我们遇到了一些刚从山顶阵地返回的战士，那里距离推进中的胡塞武装仅有几百米。其中一人表示，18具政府军士兵的遗体躺在一个他们部队可以射击覆盖但无法触及的区域。“我们在遗体上方开火，但无法将他们拉回来，”他说。
At the closest checkpoint to the front line, we met some fighters who had just returned from positions high on the mountain, just a few hundred metres from advancing Houthis. One of them said the bodies of 18 government soldiers lay in an area his unit could fire across but not reach.
自9月10日胡塞武装攻占位于该市以西85公里处的战略红海港口摩卡以来，围绕泰兹的战斗已升级，此前维持了四年之久的停火协议基本破裂。
"We shoot over them, but we can't pull them out," he said.
该武装控制了一片俯瞰战略要地曼德海峡的领土——这是连接欧洲和亚洲的关键航运走廊。这导致油价上涨，因人们担心该地区供应进一步中断。
Fighting around Taiz has intensified since the Houthis seized the strategic Red Sea port of Mokha, 85km to the west of the city, on 10 September, after a ceasefire that had largely held for four years unravelled.
泰兹是也门第三大城市及文化中心，人口近百万。它位于胡塞武装控制的也门北部与政府控制的南部之间的关键交汇处，且在多个方向被前线包围。
The group took control of a swathe of territory overlooking the strategic Bab al-Mandab Strait – a crucial shipping corridor linking Europe and Asia. This contributed to a rise in oil prices as fears rose of further disruption to supplies from the region.
政府军控制泰兹市中心，而胡塞武装阵地位于其北部和东部。最近最激烈的战斗发生在西部进攻方向，双方正在争夺俯瞰城市南下通道的制高点。如果胡塞武装控制这些地区，政府军将更难夺回摩卡。
Taiz is Yemen's third biggest city and its cultural capital, and is home to close to a million people. It sits at a vital intersection between Houthi-controlled areas in northern Yemen and government-held ones in the south – and is hemmed in by front lines in several directions.
我们从南部城市亚登前往泰兹，也门国际承认的总统领导委员会和政府设在那里。
Government forces hold the centre of Taiz, while Houthi positions lie to its north and east. The fiercest recent fighting has been on the western approaches, where the two sides are contesting high ground overlooking the city's route south. If the Houthis secure these areas, government forces could find it much harder to retake Mokha.
沿途约30个检查站标示着由不同指挥官控制的路段——这清楚地表明了政府一方作战力量的分裂构成。

随着我们靠近城市，救护车开始从我们身边驶过。我们在半小时内至少数到了五辆，正驶向泰兹的主要医院。很明显，我们正驶入一座处于残酷战斗核心的城市。
We travelled to Taiz from Aden in the south, where Yemen's internationally recognised Presidential Leadership Council and government are based. About 30 checkpoints along the route marked stretches of road controlled by different commanders – a clear sign of the fractured make-up of the forces fighting on the government side.
我们抵达时天色已晚。商店灯火通明，餐馆里挤满了人，孩子们在街上玩耍。但每隔一段时间，其他声音就会打破这份宁静——那是城市周围山区传来的炮击声和枪声。
As we neared the city, ambulances began to pass us. We counted at least five within half an hour, heading towards Taiz's main hospital. It was clear that we were driving into a city at the heart of a brutal battle.
塔伊兹一直是该国毁灭性内战的主要战场。2015年将政府赶出萨那后，胡塞武装也试图夺取塔伊兹的控制权，但被当地民兵赶出了城市的大部分地区。
We arrived after dark. The shops were lit, the restaurants were packed and children were playing in the streets. But every so often, other sounds broke through – the thud of shelling and the crack of gunfire from the mountains around the city.
如今，在最新的攻势中，胡塞武装除了使用其他武器外，还广泛使用了无人机。
Taiz has been a major battleground in the country's devastating civil war. After ousting the government from Sanaa in 2015, the Houthis attempted to also seize control of Taiz but were driven out of most of the city by local militiamen.
据沙特阿拉伯、西方国家和联合国专家称，胡塞武装主要的外部供应方是伊朗，伊朗为其提供了武器、资金和军事建议。然而，伊朗此前否认向胡塞武装提供武器，并称仅在政治上支持他们。

After ousting the government from Sanaa in 2015, the Houthis attempted to also seize control of Taiz but were driven out of most of the city by local militiamen. Now, in their latest offensive, Houthis are making extensive use of drones alongside other weapons.
多年来，一直有关于胡塞武装招募童兵的报道，一名政府军士兵告诉我们，他在前线曾与他们交火。
Their main outside supplier is Iran, which has provided weapons, funding and military advice, according to Saudi Arabia, Western countries and UN experts. Iran, however, has previously denied supplying weapons to the Houthis and says it only supports them politically.
他说：“看着一个也门孩子并向他开枪是很困难的。但他们当时正用枪指着你，你必须自卫。”

胡塞武装于2022年与联合国签署了一项“行动计划”，承诺结束这种做法。英国广播公司（BBC）也采访了在政府军服役的青少年。
There have been persistent reports over many years of the Houthis recruiting child soldiers, and a government soldier told us he had faced them on the front line.
与此同时，由沙特阿拉伯领导的联军正在支持也门政府，并为其提供武器。沙特军方对红海沿岸的胡塞武装阵地进行了数百次空袭，而胡塞武装则向沙特阿拉伯西南部城市和基础设施发射了无人机和导弹。
"It's difficult to look at a Yemeni child and shoot at him. But then they are pointing the gun at you and you have to defend yourself," he said. The Houthis signed an "action plan" with the UN in 2022 pledging to end the practice. The BBC has also spoken to teenagers serving with government forces.
傍晚时分，在塔伊兹的塔瓦拉医院，前线的伤员被送进重症监护室，我们看到每一张病床都住满了人。
Meanwhile a coalition led by Saudi Arabia is backing the Yemeni government, and providing it with weapons. The Saudi military has carried out hundreds of air strikes on Houthi positions on the Red Sea coast, while the Houthis have launched drones and missiles at cities and infrastructure in south-western Saudi Arabia.
有些病人是战士，有些则是平民。12岁的加纳·纳比尔在放羊时，头部被弹片击中。她的家人说，一枚胡塞武装发射的迫击炮弹落在了附近。
In the evening, at al-Thawra hospital in Taiz, casualties from the front lines were being brought into an intensive care unit where every bed we saw was occupied.
她昏迷不醒，头部缠着绷带，面部肿胀且布满瘀伤。她的家人守在床边，等待着得知她醒来后生活将会变成什么样。
Some patients were fighters, others were civilians. Twelve-year-old Ghana Nabeel had been herding goats when shrapnel struck her head. Her family said an incoming Houthi mortar had landed nearby.
一位医生告诉我，伤势已经损害了她的大脑。“她再也回不到从前了，”他说。
Some patients were fighters, others were civilians. Twelve-year-old Ghana Nabeel had been herding goats when shrapnel struck her head. Her family said an incoming Houthi mortar had landed nearby.
在塔伊兹以南约20公里的阿尔-穆尼格难民营，数百顶帐篷之间，来自穆哈以及遭受战斗波及的村庄的流离失所家庭正在陆续抵达。据称，在过去10天内已有200个家庭抵达此地。
She lay unconscious, her head wrapped in bandages, her face swollen and bruised. Her family were waiting at her bedside to learn what life might be like if she wakes up. A doctor told me the injury had damaged her brain. "She will never be the same again," he said.
玛丽亚姆·萨利赫（非真名）一周前与丈夫和五个孩子从穆哈来到这里，最小的孩子只有七岁。玛丽亚姆坐着编织帽子，以便出售换取当天的食物。“我们赤脚行走，什么也没带，只带着孩子们，”她告诉我。
About 20km south of Taiz, at the al-Monig displacement camp, families who had fled Mokha and villages hit by fighting were arriving, among hundreds of tents. re told that 200 families had arrived in the previous 10 days. Maryam Saleh, not her real name, had come a week earlier from Mokha with her husband and five children. The youngest is aged seven. Maryam sat weaving a hat to sell so she could buy food for the day.
她说，在逃亡途中，她的侄子被迫击炮的弹片击中身亡。当时他正走在她身后。她描述了家人前后方发生的交火和狙击，并表示随后看到山上有武装人员。
"We walked barefoot and we didn't carry anything with us, just our children," she told me.
“我们以为自己要死了，”她说。孩子们在大声尖叫哭泣，但她补充说，家人还是继续前行。
Her nephew was killed by shrapnel from a mortar as they fled, she said. He had been walking behind her. She described clashes and sniping both ahead of and behind the family and said she then saw armed men on the mountain.
法特玛·穆罕默德·萨利赫躺在另一户人家帐篷外的一个空米袋上。她身患残疾，无法行走，并告诉我自己无处安睡：“我一无所有……没有住所，没有床垫，没有家人。什么都没有。”法特玛说，当战斗蔓延到他们的村庄时，她正和两个儿子以及他们的孩子在一起。但她行动迟缓，拖累了大家，于是让他们带着孩子先跑，她说。她说，接下来的两天里，她一直用手和膝盖爬行。
"We thought we were finished," she said. The children were screaming and crying, but the family kept walking, she added. Fatma Mohammed Saleh was lying on an empty rice sack outside another family's tent. She has a disability and cannot walk, and told me she had nowhere of her own to sleep: "I have nothing… no shelter, no mattress, no family. Nothing." Fatma said she had been with her two sons and their children when the fighting reached their village. But she was slowing them down so told them to take the children and run, she said.
“我在爬行，子弹从这边飞来，炮弹在那边落下。子弹在这里，炮弹也在这里。头顶上就像打雷一样。我在向上帝祈祷。”她说，后来一名骑摩托车的人发现了她，并将她送到了营地。自那以后，她再也没见过自己的家人。
She spent the next two days crawling on her hands and knees, she said. "I was crawling and the bullets are coming from here and the shells are there. And the bullets are here, and the shells are here. And above me it was like thunder. I was praying to God." A man on a motorbike then saw her and drove her to the camp, she said. She has not seen her family since.
9月22日，联合国难民署表示，本月也门境内流离失所者人数已超过13万人，而此前因内战流离失所的人数已达520万。
On 22 September, the UN refugee agency said more than 130,000 people had been displaced across Yemen so far this month, on top of 5.2 million already displaced by the civil war.
该机构警告称，在未来三个月内，可能还会有10万人像法特玛一样被迫背井离乡。
It warned that another 100,000 could – like Fatma – be forced from their homes over the next three months.
