据联合国妇女署周五发布的一项分析，到今年年底，受中东局势升级和霍尔木兹海峡运输中断影响，预计将有2200万人新增面临粮食不安全，其中妇女和女童占53%。
Women and girls account for 53% of the projected 22 million additional people who could face food insecurity by the end of this year due to the Middle East escalation and disruption to the Strait of Hormuz, according to a UN Women analysis released Friday.
这意味着，在所分析的28个国家中，除估计已有2.08亿人面临粮食不安全或营养不良外，还将新增1170万名妇女和女童面临粮食不安全。
That amounts to an additional 11.7 million women and girls across the 28 countries analyzed, on top of an estimated 208 million who were already food insecure or undernourished, it said.
联合国妇女署副执行主任尼亚拉扎伊·贡邦兹万达表示：“食物匮乏时，妇女会少吃，而且总是最后吃。”她指出，妇女往往会为了优先保障他人而改吃营养较差的食物，或减少进餐次数。
“When food becomes scarce, women eat less and last,” UN Women Deputy Executive Director Nyaradzayi Gumbonzvanda said, noting that women often shift to less nutritious diets or skip meals to prioritize others.
分析称，霍尔木兹海峡航运中断正在推高能源、化肥和运输成本，进而抬高食品价格。
The analysis said disruptions to shipping through the Strait of Hormuz are increasing energy, fertilizer and transport costs, pushing food prices higher.
分析显示，南苏丹、苏丹、海地、也门和巴勒斯坦等国家面临更为集中的风险，因为多种脆弱性因素相互叠加。
According to the analysis, countries such as South Sudan, Sudan, Haiti, Yemen and Palestine face more concentrated risks, as multiple sources of vulnerability overlap.
联合国妇女署呼吁在提供粮食和现金援助的同时，配套提供营养保障、保护、生计和农业支持。
UN Women called for food and cash assistance alongside nutrition, protection, livelihoods and agricultural support.
该机构还敦促将资源精准投向妇女和女童面临多重且相互叠加风险的地区，并在恰当的时间提供，包括赶在农业季节到来之前。
It also urged resources to be targeted to places where women and girls face multiple, overlapping risks, and delivered at the right time – including ahead of agricultural seasons.
