日内瓦,10月2日——世界粮食计划署周五表示,随着也门冲突持续升级,饥饿问题日益严重,无法获得足够食物的人口数量也达到了历史峰值。

GENEVA, Oct 2 - Hunger in Yemen is accelerating, with a record number of people unable to meet their food needs as conflict intensifies in the country, the World Food Programme said on Friday.

自2022年联合国斡旋达成的停火协议基本终止了跨境袭击以来,沙特阿拉伯与亲伊朗的胡塞武装之间的冲突再度升级,情况愈发严峻。

Yemen is experiencing the most serious escalation between Saudi Arabia and the Iran-aligned Houthi group since a UN-brokered truce largely halted cross-border attacks in 2022.

新一轮冲突已导致数万人流离失所,并可能改变也门的势力格局,进而对红海航道及曼德海峡的安全产生深远影响。

The renewed conflict has already displaced tens of thousands of people and could reshape control in Yemen, with implications for Red Sea shipping lanes and the Bab el-Mandeb Strait.

据世界粮食计划署负责项目运营的助理执行主任马修·霍林沃思介绍,在该机构能够进入的也门政府控制区,短短几周内就有大量民众无法获得充足食物。目前,当地四分之三的家庭都不得不忍饥挨饿。这些地区的居民总数约为1000万人。

Within a few weeks, a record number of people in government-controlled areas of the country where the WFP can access are no longer able to meet their food needs, with three out of four of households skipping meals, according to Matthew Hollingworth, the WFP’s Assistant Executive Director for Programme Operations. The total population of government-held areas is estimated at around 10 million people.

霍林沃思在从罗马通过视频连线向日内瓦的记者们表示:“此次冲突的再度爆发对粮食安全形势造成的冲击极有可能是毁灭性的。”

“The effect of this latest flare-up of insecurity on the food security situation threatens to be absolutely devastating,” Hollingworth told reporters in Geneva via video link from Rome.
