至少72名工人在苏丹和埃及之间有争议的边境地区遭到空袭身亡，该地区的手工金矿工人成为袭击目标，人权组织周日表示。
At least 72 workers were killed in air strikes on a disputed border area between Sudan and Egypt that targeted artisanal gold miners, a human rights group said Sunday.
此次袭击发生在偏远的哈拉耶卜三角洲以南、尼罗河以东，是今年第二起此类袭击。
The attack, south of the remote Halayeb triangle, east of the River Nile, is the second of its kind this year.
此次袭击发生之际，埃及对苏丹持续三年半的冲突导致的大规模流离失所日益担忧，这场冲突引发了跨境逃亡。我们目前知道什么？
It comes amid growing concern in Egypt over large-scale displacement from the three-and-a-half-year conflict in Sudan, which has spurred a cross-border exodus. What do we know?
总部位于苏丹的“紧急律师”组织——一个人权和法律倡导组织——表示，袭击发生在周六，地点是崎岖多山的地区，该组织称该地区位于苏丹境内。
The Sudan-based Emergency Lawyers, a human rights and legal advocacy organization, said the attack occurred on Saturday in rugged and mountainous territory that it said lies within Sudan.
哈拉耶卜三角洲被埃及和苏丹双方宣称拥有主权，该地区以采矿和黄金贸易闻名，此外还涉及其他非法商品和人口贩运。该人权组织指责埃及空军实施了此次空袭。
The Halayeb triangle, which is claimed by both Egypt and Sudan, is known for mining and the gold trade, along with other illicit goods and human trafficking. The rights group accused the Egyptian air force of carrying out the strikes.
“反复对富含黄金和矿产的边境地区发动袭击，反映出埃及当局希望扩大并主导对苏丹自然资源的控制，”该组织称。
"The repeated attacks on the gold- and mineral-rich border regions reflect a desire by Egyptian authorities to expand and assert control over Sudan's natural resources," it claimed.
埃及尚未对此次袭击发表评论，但此前曾承认对其境内的非法金矿开展了“大规模行动”。由于该地区地处偏远，独立核实仍然困难。
Egypt has yet to comment on the strikes, but has previously admitted conducting a "large-scale operation" against illegal gold mining within its borders. Independent verification remains difficult because of the remote location.
死亡人数预计将上升 苏丹医生网络在Facebook上警告称，伤亡人数可能增加，“因为一些伤势严重，且该地区医疗抢救和基本服务获取困难。”一名幸存者告诉法新社，袭击发生时，现场有数千人在工作。
Death toll expected to rise Sudan Doctors Network warned on Facebook of an expected increase in the number of casualties "due to the severity of some injuries and the difficulties in accessing medical care and essential services in the region." One survivor told the AFP news agency there were thousands of people working at the remote site when it was hit.
“空袭发生后，人们四散逃离。有人前往阿尔-安萨里[黄金]市场，有人则朝其他方向逃去。这就是为什么目前没有人确切知道死亡人数有多少，”他说。
"After the air strike, people scattered. Some people came to Al-Ansary [gold] market, others went in the other direction. That's why no one knows exactly how many were killed," he said.
与战争相关的黄金经济所引发的罢工 苏丹阿卜杜勒·法塔赫·布尔汉领导的军政府与准军事部队快速支援部队（RSF）之间的内战已造成超过20万人死亡，并引发严重的人道主义危机。
Strikes tied to war's gold economy Sudan's civil war between Abdel Fattah al-Burhan's military junta and the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (RSF) has killed more than 200,000 people and triggered a severe humanitarian crisis.
尽管埃及支持苏丹军队首脑布尔汉，但它认为其边境上的战争对其安全构成威胁。
Despite backing Sudan's army chief al-Burhan, Egypt considers the war at its border a threat to its security.
RSF通过从苏丹达尔富尔和科尔多凡地区走私数千吨黄金来为其行动提供资金。根据英国智库Chatham House的报告，多达60%的非官方黄金出口最终流入埃及。
The RSF has funded its operations by smuggling thousands of tons of gold from Sudan's Darfur and Kordofan regions. According to the UK-based think tank Chatham House, as much as 60% of unofficial gold exports end up in Egypt.
苏丹内战 — — 人道主义援助的局限 六月，在同一边境地区的矿场遭到空袭之后，埃及开展了一次大规模的安全行动。数百人被捕，其中包括外国人，他们被指控非法采矿和走私黄金。
Sudan's civil war — the limits of humanitarian aid In June, air strikes on mining sites in the same border area were followed by a large-scale Egyptian security operation. Hundreds of people, including foreigners, were arrested, accused of illegal gold mining and smuggling.
