也门国际承认的政府警告称，该国西南部被围困的城市塔伊兹正面临“即将发生的健康和人道主义灾难”，因为胡塞武装继续围困该城并“阻碍基本物资供应”。
Yemen’s internationally recognised government has warned of an “imminent health and humanitarian catastrophe” in the besieged city of Taiz, in the country’s southwest, as the Houthis continue their siege and “obstruct essential supplies”.
也门公共卫生和人口部在周六的一份声明中表示，该市卫生设施中的药品、静脉输液、医疗用品和燃料“即将耗尽”。
Yemen’s Ministry of Public Health and Population said in a statement on Saturday that medicines, intravenous fluids, medical supplies and fuel at the city’s health facilities were “nearing depletion”.
声明称，如果情况持续，急救、手术、重症监护、透析和新生儿服务可能被迫停止，这将使患者、受伤者、孕妇和新生儿“面临直接风险”。
It said emergency care, surgery, intensive care, dialysis and neonatal services could be forced to stop if the situation continued, putting patients, injured people, pregnant women and newborns “at immediate risk”.
燃料短缺还威胁到发电机、救护车以及保持药品和疫苗可用的冷链，这可能导致“严重并发症和可预防的死亡”，卫生部表示。
Fuel shortages also threaten electricity generators, ambulances and the cold chains that keep medicines and vaccines usable, which could cause “severe complications and preventable deaths”, the ministry said.
它要求立即解除围困，重新开放供应通道，确保患者、救护车、卫生工作者和援助人员的安全通行。
It demanded the siege be lifted immediately, and supply routes reopened, with safe passage for patients, ambulances, health workers and aid.
它呼吁联合国和人道主义组织“向该市的卫生设施运送药品、静脉输液、医疗用品、氧气和燃料”。
It called on the United Nations and humanitarian organisations to “deliver medicines, intravenous fluids, medical supplies, oxygen and fuel” to the city’s health facilities.
“每一次延误都会增加服务中断和生命损失的风险，”卫生部表示。
“Every delay increases the risk of service interruption and loss of life,” the ministry said.
围困重启 胡塞武装是一个得到伊朗支持的武装团体，也被称为安萨尔拉，他们在2014年以武力夺取也门首都萨那，后来建立了自己的政府。他们控制着也门的北部和东北部。
Renewed siege The Houthis, an armed group backed by Iran and also known as Ansar Allah, seized Yemen’s capital, Sanaa, by force in 2014 and later imposed their own government. They control the country’s north and northeast.
塔伊兹在2015年至2016年期间曾遭受胡塞武装的毁灭性围困，当时也门政府军被困在城市中心的一个飞地。
Taiz endured a devastating Houthi siege between 2015 and 2016, when Yemeni government forces were confined to an enclave in the city centre.
围困在2016年被突破，尽管胡塞武装通过其他通道维持了部分封锁。2024年，他们同意重新开放从东方进入的通道，但随着战斗的重新爆发，该通道再次被关闭。此次围困的重启始于今年10月初。
The siege was broken in 2016, though the Houthis kept a partial blockade through other access points. In 2024, they agreed to reopen a route from the east, but it has been closed after fighting resumed. The renewed siege took shape in early October.
9月，胡塞武装沿着红海沿岸的泰伊兹省发动攻势，攻占了港口城市摩卡，并于10月4日前占领了图尔巴镇，切断了泰伊兹市与其他政府控制区之间最后一条主要道路。得到沙特阿拉伯支持的也门政府军于10月初发起反攻。
The Houthis launched an offensive along the Red Sea coast of the Taiz governorate in September, capturing the port city of Mocha, and by October 4 had taken the town of At Turbah, cutting the last main road between Taiz city and other government-held areas. Yemeni government forces, backed by Saudi Arabia, began a counteroffensive in early October.
也门政府泰伊兹省规划与发展办公室总干事纳比勒·贾米勒告诉半岛电视台，目前的围困“比2015年更全面，影响更严重”。
Nabil Jamil, director-general of the Yemeni government’s planning and development office in the Taiz governorate, told Al Jazeera the current siege is “more comprehensive and its impact more severe than in 2015”.
他说，约280万人生活在该省政府控制区，此外还有20万近期流离失所者。
He said about 2.8 million people live in government-held areas of the governorate, along with 200,000 who have recently been displaced.
燃料变得稀缺，在黑市上，一桶20升（5.2加仑）汽油的价格从3万也门里亚尔（19美元）涨至9万也门里亚尔（58美元）。“我们仍在等待回应或实地干预，”贾米勒说。
Fuel has become scarce, and on the black market, the price of a 20-litre (5.2-gallon) container of petrol has risen from 30,000 Yemeni riyals ($19) to 90,000 ($58). “We are still waiting for a response or intervention on the ground,” Jamil said.
联合国难民署和世界卫生组织警告称，战斗正使也门脆弱的医疗体系陷入危险。
The UN refugee agency and the World Health Organization have warned that the fighting is putting Yemen’s fragile health system in peril.
“平民绝不能在任何冲突中被变成施加压力的工具，”律师、权利与发展正义组织负责人纳比勒·沙里扬说。
“Civilians must never be turned into a means of exerting pressure in any conflict,” said Nabil Sharyan, a lawyer and head of the Justice for Rights and Development Organization.
