世界卫生组织称,也门战火重燃已致800多人丧生。世界卫生组织表示,伊朗支持的胡塞民兵与沙特支持的政府军之间的战斗加剧了世界上最严重的人道主义危机之一。
Renewed War in Yemen Has Killed More Than 800, W.H.O. Says The fighting between the Iran-backed Houthi militia and Saudi-backed government forces has exacerbated one of the world’s worst humanitarian crises, the World Health Organization said.
世界卫生组织周一表示,过去两个月,伊朗支持的胡塞民兵与沙特支持的政府军在也门重新开战,已造成800多人死亡,数千人受伤或流离失所。
More than 800 people have been killed and thousands more have been injured or displaced since fighting between the Iran-backed Houthi militia and the Saudi-backed government reignited in Yemen over the past two months, the World Health Organization said on Monday.
这些数字让人得以一窥胡塞武装与沙特阿拉伯之间的紧张关系重新演变为战争以来的伤亡情况,这场战争在美以与伊朗的冲突中开辟了第二战线。
The figures offer a glimpse of the toll from the fighting since tensions between the Houthis and Saudi Arabia spiraled back into war, opening a second front in the U.S.-Israeli war with Iran.
世界卫生组织在社交媒体上发布的一份声明中表示,自8月初以来,已有838人死亡,3000多人受伤,数万人流离失所。此前,在经历了四年的相对和平后,冲突于8月初爆发。数据没有区分平民和战斗人员。
The W.H.O. said in a statement published on social media that 838 people had died, more than 3,000 had been wounded and tens of thousands had been displaced since early August, when clashes broke out after four years of relative peace. The data did not distinguish between civilians and combatants.
胡塞武装指责沙特阿拉伯对也门发动了数百次空袭,沙特官员基本上没有承认这一点。随着胡塞武装与也门政府盟军争夺领土,多条战线也重新爆发战斗。
The Houthis have accused Saudi Arabia of launching hundreds of airstrikes in Yemen, which Saudi officials have largely not acknowledged. Fighting has also restarted along multiple front lines, as the Houthis battle forces allied with the Yemeni government for territory.
重新开战加剧了世界上最严重的人道主义危机之一。世界卫生组织表示,在也门的医院里,创伤病例正在挤占孕产妇患者,而逃离家园的家庭在努力寻找清洁水源时,面临感染霍乱的风险。
The return to war has exacerbated one of the world’s worst humanitarian crises. In Yemeni hospitals, trauma cases are displacing maternal health patients, while families who have fled their homes are at risk of contracting cholera as they struggle to find clean water, the W.H.O. said.
也门内战始于2014年,当时胡塞武装占领了该国西北部地区,包括首都萨那,此后一直控制着该地区。沙特阿拉伯和阿拉伯联合酋长国发动了一场灾难性的军事行动,试图恢复政府,导致数十万人死于暴力、饥饿和疾病。
The civil war in Yemen began in 2014, when the Houthis took over the northwestern part of the country, including the capital, Sanaa, which they have held ever since. Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates launched a disastrous military campaign to restore the government, contributing to the deaths of hundreds of thousands of people from violence, hunger and disease.
2022年的停火协议曾为该国带来脆弱的和平,但近几个月来,这一局面已逐渐瓦解。
A truce in 2022 brought a fragile peace to the country but that has unraveled over recent months.
今年2月,当美国和以色列对伊朗发动袭击时,胡塞武装最初似乎愿意置身事外。
When the U.S. and Israel attacked Iran in February, the Houthis initially appeared willing to sit out the fighting.
但停火协议已演变为脆弱的僵局,沙特阿拉伯与该民兵组织之间的紧张关系不断升级。
But the truce had become a brittle stalemate, and tensions between Saudi Arabia and the militia were rising.
7月,胡塞武装指控沙特阿拉伯轰炸萨那机场,以阻止一架伊朗飞机降落。该组织宣布对沙特阿拉伯在红海的航运实施封锁,因为红海在伊朗战争期间已成为沙特石油出口的替代路线,并向沙特境内发射了导弹和无人机。
In July, the Houthis accused Saudi Arabia of bombing the airport in Sanaa to prevent an Iranian aircraft from landing. The group declared a blockade on Saudi shipping in the Red Sea, which had become an alternative route for Saudi oil exports during the Iran war, and fired missiles and drones into Saudi Arabia.
分析人士称,该民兵组织部分是在维护自身利益,但其行动也帮助了伊朗。伊朗官员正推动扩大与美国和以色列的战争,并提高特朗普总统的冲突成本。
The militia was partly acting in its own interests, analysts say, but their actions have also helped Iran, where officials were pushing to widen the war with the United States and Israel and raise the costs of the conflict for President Trump.
胡塞武装本月发动了大规模地面攻势,夺取了也门红海沿岸地区——当地官员称这场战斗尤为血腥。据也门政府派系“国家抵抗力量”发表声明称,至少500名也门政府军士兵阵亡,超过1500人受伤。胡塞武装尚未公布其伤亡人数。
The Houthis launched a major ground offensive and took over Yemen’s Red Sea coast this month — a battle that local officials say was especially bloody. At least 500 Yemeni government fighters were killed and more than 1,500 wounded, according to a statement from the National Resistance Forces, a Yemeni government faction. The Houthis have not announced a death toll.
