联合国儿童基金会周四晚间称，在也门政府军与胡塞武装的冲突日益激烈的背景下，不到一个月内，也门西部约有7.9万名儿童流离失所。
Around 79,000 children have been displaced in western Yemen in less than a month amid escalating fighting between government forces and the Houthis, UNICEF said late Thursday.
该机构在一份报告中指出：“也门西部地区战火重燃，战线不断变动，使得本已严峻的人道主义危机进一步恶化。”
“Across western Yemen, renewed hostilities and shifting frontlines have deepened an already devastating humanitarian crisis,” the UN children’s agency said in a report.
报告称，塔伊兹省、荷台达省以及西部沿海地区的战斗迫使众多家庭再次逃离家园，他们不得不抛弃住所、财物以及生计来源。
It said fighting in Taiz and Al Hudaydah provinces, the western coast and surrounding areas have forced families to flee once again, leaving behind their homes, belongings and livelihoods.
联合国儿童基金会表示：“自9月3日至30日期间，共有超过14.5万名民众流离失所，其中约7.9万名为儿童。”
“Between 3 September - 30 September, more than 145,000 people have been displaced, including an estimated 79,000 children,” UNICEF said.
该机构警告称，此次冲突升级之际，也门本就面临极其严峻的人道主义状况，当地民众的需求量位居世界前列。报告称：“也门有超过1200万名儿童急需人道主义援助。”
The agency warned that the latest escalation comes amid an already severe humanitarian situation in a country where needs are among the highest in the world. “More than 12 million children in Yemen require humanitarian assistance,” it said.
联合国儿童基金会指出，部分流离失所的家庭栖身于拥挤不堪的难民营中，难以获得清洁用水、医疗服务及其他基本生活保障；许多人逃难时身上仅带着身上穿的衣服而已。
UNICEF said some displaced families are staying in overcrowded camps with limited access to clean water, healthcare and other essential services, while many arrived with little more than the clothes they were wearing.
该机构表示，他们将继续为受影响的民众提供帮助，同时呼吁确保人道主义援助能够顺利送达最需要帮助的儿童手中。
The agency said it continues to support affected communities while calling for safe humanitarian access to children most in need.
周四，联合国也门问题特使汉斯·格伦德贝里呼吁立即停止塔伊兹省的战斗，切实保护平民及民用基础设施。
On Thursday, UN Special Envoy for Yemen Hans Grundberg called for an end to fighting in Taiz province and for civilians and civilian infrastructure to be protected.
近期，也门政府军与胡塞武装之间爆发了近三个月来规模最大的军事冲突。
Yemen has witnessed its broadest military escalation in three weeks between government forces and the Houthis in recent hours.
此次冲突是自7月份开始的军事升级的一部分，也是自2022年4月停火协议达成后局势相对平静以来最为激烈的冲突。
The developments are part of an escalation that began in July, the most intense since the relative calm that followed an April 2022 truce.
9月以来战事进一步升级，胡塞武装相继控制了荷台达省与塔伊兹省的多个战略要地，包括具有战略意义的穆哈市，还占领了俯瞰曼德海峡的马云岛。
Fighting accelerated in September, leading to Houthi control of several key locations in Al Hudaydah and Taiz provinces, including the strategic city of Mokha, and extending to Mayun Island overlooking the Bab el-Mandeb Strait.
自胡塞武装于2014年9月占领首都萨那和几个省份以来，也门一直处于战争状态，随后沙特领导的阿拉伯联盟于2015年3月介入支持也门政府。
Yemen has been at war since the Houthis seized the capital Sanaa and several provinces in September 2014, before a Saudi-led Arab coalition intervened in March 2015 in support of the Yemeni government.
