也门的纠缠内战如今已无法忽视。但在其港口城市亚丁的手术室里，地缘政治却显得遥远。作者：奥尔拉·格林那是一次在沙漠中高速行进的旅程——乘坐一辆皮卡，车后坐着武装战士。我们随同也门的亲政府部队同行，一路瞥见阿拉伯海，远处可见令人望而生畏的山峰。我们被告知，胡塞武装叛军就在几天前被从这里驱逐。
Yemen's entrenched civil war is now impossible to ignore. But in operating rooms in its port city of Aden, geopolitics feels remote. By Orla Guerin It was a journey at high speed through the desert - in a pick-up truck with armed fighters in the back. We were travelling with Yemen's pro-government forces, catching glimpses of the Arabian Sea, and forbidding mountain peaks in the distance. Houthi rebels were dislodged from here just days ago, we were told.
当你在广袤的沙漠上交战时，进展往往难以察觉。但这些来自拉赫杰省沙阿-贾因的士兵向我们展示了新筑的沙袋防御工事——在沙地上划出的新防线。
When you are battling over expanses of empty desert, progress can be hard to see. But these soldiers, in Shaab-al-Jinn in Lahj governorate, showed us new sandbagged defences - new lines in the sand.
“这里曾发生激烈交火，”身着迷彩服、留着胡子的指挥官陶菲克·阿尔·哈布恩说。“他们有狙击手、火炮和弹道导弹发射器。”在这里，中东的偏远角落，一场具有全球影响的战争正在进行。
"There was heavy fighting," said Tawfiq Al Haboun, a bearded commander in camouflage uniform. "They have snipers, artillery and ballistic missile launchers." Here in the far corners of the Middle East, a war is being waged with global implications.
也门的纠缠内战如今已无法忽视。它是更广泛冲突的一部分，从德黑兰延伸到利雅得，此周末导弹曾袭击该国际机场。也门的胡塞武装——已经对全球航运构成威胁——正日益成为对沙特阿拉伯的威胁。他们还为其在伊朗的支持者提供了杠杆作用，而伊朗是沙特的地区对手。
Yemen's entrenched civil war is now impossible to ignore. It's part of wider conflict, stretching from Tehran to Riyadh, where missiles slammed into the international airport this weekend. Yemen's Houthi fighters – already a threat to global shipping – are an increasing threat to Saudi Arabia. And they provide leverage for their backers in Iran, Saudi's regional rival.
陶菲克·阿尔·哈布恩指着自己脚下的玻璃纤维碎片和金属碎片说——那是他所说的携带C4炸药的被击落的胡塞武装无人机的一部分。
Tawfiq Al Haboun pointed to shards of fibre glass and bits of metal at his feet – part of a downed Houthi drone that he said was carrying C4 explosives.
阿尔·哈布恩指挥官来自南部武装力量，这是一个松散的——非常松散的——各派别联盟，他们为也门政府而战，该政府得到国际承认，并得到沙特阿拉伯及其空袭的支持。
Commander Al Haboun is from the Southern Forces, part of the loose – very loose – alliance of groups fighting for Yemen's government, which is internationally recognised, and backed by Saudi Arabia and its air strikes.
胡塞武装于2014年攻入首都萨那，驱逐了政府。一年后，由沙特领导的阿拉伯国家联盟介入，试图驱逐胡塞武装。尽管经历了多年毁灭性的空袭，但这一目标尚未实现。
The Houthis swept into the capital, Sanaa, in 2014, ousting the government. A year later a Saudi led coalition of Arab states intervened, trying to dislodge the Houthis. Despite years of devastating air strikes, that hasn't worked.
指挥官告诉我们，大约500名胡塞武装战士仍驻扎在俯瞰战略海上走廊——巴布-曼德布海峡的高地上，该海峡连接红海和亚丁湾。
The commander tells us about 500 Houthi fighters remain on high ground overlooking a strategic maritime corridor – Bab al-Mandab – connecting the Red Sea to the Gulf of Aden.
这条狭窄的水道对石油出口至关重要，在我们的旅途中刚好看不见。
The narrow waterway, which is crucial for oil exports, was just out of sight on our trip.
胡塞武装在九月的闪电式进攻后夺取了该地区。指挥官称，亲政府部队已夺回约85%的领土（胡塞武装否认在其他地区失去领土，但就我们当地消息来源所知，他们未否认在此地区的损失）。直到他们完全重新夺回控制权，全球石油供应和价格将面临压力。
The Houthis seized the area after a lighting advance in September. The commander claims pro-government forces have wrested back about 85% (the Houthis have denied losing territory in other areas but not here, as far as our local sources know). Until they regain complete control, there will be pressure on global oil supplies and on prices.
我们后来得知，我们访问当天发生了激烈交火。五辆军用车辆显然被胡塞武装埋设的即兴爆炸装置击中。目前尚不清楚有多少战士死亡或受伤。
We heard later that there were heavy clashes the day of our visit. Five military vehicles apparently hit improvised explosive devices planted by the Houthis. It's unclear how many fighters were killed or injured.
随着国际能源市场紧张不安，饥饿威胁着因逃离这一轮最新暴力而疲惫不堪的也门人。根据国际移民组织的数据，自九月初此次升级开始以来，约有20万人被迫离家流离失所——这一切发生在阿拉伯世界最贫穷的国家。
As jitters run through international energy markets, hunger menaces weary Yemenis forced to flee this latest spasm of violence. Around 200,000 have been driven from their homes since the start of this escalation at the beginning of September, according to the International Organization for Migration - all this in the Arab world's poorest country.
当我们离开该地区时，我们看到一幅苦难的景象：家庭零星散落在瘦弱的树下寻求庇护。在我们遇到的一群妇女和儿童中，我们遇到了艾莎，她消瘦且年迈，坐在地上。“我们已经在这里待了30天，”她告诉我。
As we left the area, we saw a tableau of suffering with families dotted around seeking shelter under scrawny trees. Among one group of women and children we met Aisha, gaunt and elderly and sitting on the ground. "We have been here for 30 days," she told me.
“我没有牲畜，没有钱，没有水，没有食物，甚至没有一条毯子。而且我害怕[沙特]的空袭。我们只能穿着身上的衣服逃跑。”周末时，利雅得国际机场的沙特平民正在奔逃。胡塞武装的袭击——这是十多年来在沙特领土上最致命的一次袭击——在该地区引发震荡，并击破了王国的安全感。
"I have no animals, no money, no water, no food, not even a blanket. And I am scared of the [Saudi] air strikes. We had to run, with just the clothes on our backs." At the weekend it was Saudi civilians at the international airport in Riyadh who were doing the running. The Houthi attack - the deadliest on Saudi soil in more than a decade - sent shockwaves around the region and punctured the kingdom's sense of security.
但在也门港口城市亚丁的手术室里，地缘政治显得遥远。医院人手紧张，医生们日夜不停地治疗从前线送来的受伤政府武装人员。
But in operating rooms in Yemen's port city of Aden, geopolitics feels remote. Hospitals are overstretched and doctors are working night and day to treat wounded government fighters coming from the front lines.
我们走访了一家军医院，一天之内就有51名伤员送达——其中许多人有枪伤，还有几人需要截肢。
We visited one military hospital where 51 casualties arrived in a single day – many with gunshot wounds, and several needing amputations.
在拥挤的病房里，一名胡塞武装战士躺在另一方阵营战士的旁边。医生告诉我们，他们不作任何区分。
In a crowded ward, a Houthi fighter lay alongside fighters from the other side. Doctors tell us they make no distinctions.
“我不关心他来自哪里，他的背景或宗教。他是一个人，所以我应该像对待人一样对待他，”巴萨姆·哈扎尔医生说。
"I don't care where he comes from, his background or his religion. He is a human being so I should treat him as a human being, "said Dr Bassam Hazar.
即使战争结束，有些人也永远无法摆脱它的阴影。一名男子沉默地坐在床上，左臂断肢处裹着白色绷带，头顶沿着钉合的伤口延伸。
Even if the war ends, some will never leave it behind. One man was sitting silently on his bed, a white bandage wrapped around the stump of his left arm, and staples running along his crown.
还有人没有失去战斗精神，比如艾哈迈德·阿里·马赫穆德，尽管有多处骨折，他依然面带笑容、精神振奋。“我不等待完全康复，”他告诉我们。
Others have not lost their fighting spirit, like Ahmed Ali Mahmoud who is smiling and animated, despite multiple fractures. "I am not waiting to be fully recovered," he tells us. "I just want to be able to stand.
“我只想能够站起来。我认为这是宗教义务和国家义务[重返战场]。胡塞武装毁掉了这个国家。取得胜利后，我甚至不会感到这些骨折。”在隔壁病房里躺着12岁的阿里，一名棕发男孩，他仅比也门内战大一岁。阿里在街上行走时被无人机击中，正面临一项复杂的手术。
I think it is a religious duty and a national duty [to go back to fight]. The Houthis have destroyed the country. With victory I won't even feel these fractures." In the next ward lies 12-year-old Ali, a brown-haired boy, who is just one year older than Yemen's civil war. Ali was injured by a drone as he walked down the street and is facing a complicated surgery.
“他脊柱附近有弹片，”阿姆尔·雷亚德·阿萨萨夫医生站在他床旁说。
"There is shrapnel near his spine," says Dr Amr Reyadh Assaqaf, standing by his bedside.
“手术不会容易，但但愿真主保佑，我们的医护人员能够应对。”他告诉我，阿里很安静、很温柔。
"The operation won't be easy, but God willing our staff will be able to handle it." He tells me Ali is quiet and gentle.
“起初他很沮丧，”他说，“但我们给他玩具玩，他的情绪逐渐好转。”但战争会不会伴随他步入成年？
"At first he was depressed," he says, "but we gave him toys to play with and his mood is gradually lifting." But will war follow him into adulthood?
2022年的停火协议曾带来了几年的相对平静。但如今，胡塞武装已成为更强大的敌人，这一点他们在周末已经证明。他们目前已经控制也门大部分人口。如果再次出现调解尝试——对此已有部分猜测——他们可能会提出苛刻的条件。
A truce in 2022 brought a few years of relative calm. But now the Houthis are a stronger enemy, as they have proven at the weekend. They already control most of Yemen's population. If there is a new attempt at mediation – and there is some speculation about this - they may drive a hard bargain.
回到医院，巴桑·哈扎尔医生正在为下一波伤员做准备。他期盼着改变，但并不认为这种改变会很快到来。
Back at the hospital, as he prepares for the next wave of casualties, Dr Bassam Hazar hopes for change but doesn't expect it soon.
“也许战争对新闻来说是好事，”他说，“但这对人们来说却极其可怕。“儿子们正在失去父亲，母亲们正在失去儿子。我们需要和平。”
"Maybe war is good for news," he says, "but it's horrible [for people]. "Sons are losing their fathers, and mothers losing their sons. We need peace."
