也门台兹，10月16日 - 当伊朗结盟的胡塞武装逼近并收紧对也门第三大城市台兹的围困时，阿里·哈桑和他的家人躲在台兹一所学校的楼梯间下避难。
TAIZ, Yemen, Oct 16 - Ali Hassan and his family took shelter under a stairwell at a school in Taiz as Iran-allied Houthi forces closed in around them, tightening a siege of Yemen's third-largest city.
这位42岁的男子表示，该组织与沙特支持的政府军之间的最新战斗迫使他多次流离失所。更广泛的冲突也在他身上留下了印记：他说，2021年，一名胡塞狙击手的枪击使他的手瘫痪。
The 42-year-old said the latest fighting between the group and Saudi-backed government forces had forced him to flee several times. The wider conflict has also left its mark on his body: a shot from a Houthi sniper paralysed his hand in 2021, he said.
“我只剩下左手了，”他对路透社说。他补充说，一个月前，另一名狙击手在他的妹妹放羊时击中了她的脊柱，使她完全残疾。路透社无法核实他的说法。
"I only have my left hand," he told Reuters. A month ago, he added, another sniper shot his sister in the spine while she was herding sheep, leaving her completely disabled. Reuters could not verify his accounts.
更广泛地区战争中的战场 台兹正迅速成为也门重燃的内战中最重要的前线——而这场内战本身是更广泛地区冲突的一个新战场，该冲突始于2月美国和以色列对伊朗的打击。
THEATRE IN WIDER REGIONAL WAR The city is fast becoming the most important front in Yemen's reignited civil war — itself a new theatre in the wider regional conflict that began with US and Israeli strikes on Iran in February.
胡塞武装通过切断通往南部亚丁的主要道路包围了这座城市，迫使人们离家逃离，并加剧了人道主义危机。
Houthi forces have encircled the city by cutting the main road south to Aden, forcing people from their homes and deepening a humanitarian crisis.
胡塞武装在台兹取胜，将标志着一场战争中最大的转折点之一。这场战争在四年休战后于今年夏天重启。该组织否认受到伊朗武装，并表示自己正在与也门腐败的体制作斗争。
A Houthi victory in Taiz would mark one of the biggest turning points in a war that resumed this summer after a four-year truce. The group denies being armed by Iran and says it is fighting a corrupt system in Yemen.
哈桑表示，随着该组织争夺更多领土，居民正面临胡塞武装的炮火以及食物和水的短缺。上个月，胡塞武装在一次闪电般的推进中加强了对巴布曼德布海运航道的控制。
Hassan said residents were facing Houthi fire and shortages of food and water as the group pushed for more territory. Last month, the Houthis tightened their grip on the Bab el-Mandeb shipping lane in a lightning advance.
政府方面表示，周四，该组织向南部城市亚丁的总统宫殿综合体发射导弹，造成五人死亡。
On Thursday, the group fired missiles at the presidential palace complex in the southern city of Aden, killing five people, the government said.
沙特领导的联盟还列出了胡塞武装在过去几周对沙特基础设施发动的数十次袭击。
The Saudi-led coalition has also listed dozens of Houthi attacks on Saudi infrastructure in recent weeks.
对亚丁的袭击以及胡塞武装攻克台兹的决心表明，冲突可能会持续下去，延长这座近60万人口城市的苦难。
The Aden strike and the Houthis' determination to take Taiz suggest the conflict could drag on, prolonging suffering in a city of almost 600,000.
焦点战场泰兹自战争爆发以来一直位于胡塞武装与政府之间的前线。
FOCAL POINT OF FIGHTING Taiz has been on the frontline between the Houthis and the government since the war's first days.
如今，它是也门南部高地地区反胡塞武装力量最后的主要城市据点。
It is now the last major urban stronghold of anti-Houthi forces in the southern highland area of Yemen.
居民瓦西克·马尤卜表示，物价上涨，燃料短缺，街道上垃圾堆积如山。
Resident Wathiq Mahyoub said prices were rising, fuel was running short and garbage was piling up on the streets.
“围城正在窒息人们。它正在勒死市民，”马尤卜对路透社说。“胡塞武装拒绝为我们开放通道，甚至不允许倾倒垃圾。”也门战争于2014年爆发，当时胡塞武装夺取首都萨那，迫使政府南撤至亚丁。次年沙特领导的军事干预导致流血僵局，直至2022年达成的停火协议维持至今年。
"The siege is suffocating. It's strangling the citizens," Mahyoub told Reuters. "The Houthis refused to open the crossing for us, even to dump the rubbish." War broke out in Yemen in 2014 when the Houthis seized the capital Sanaa, driving the government south to Aden. A Saudi-led military intervention the following year led to a bloody stalemate before a 2022 truce that held until this year.
上周，政府军发动行动，试图收复胡塞武装控制的地区，夺回了靠近曼德海峡的阵地——这是一条关键的航运通道。
Last week, government forces launched a campaign to recapture areas controlled by the Houthis, recovering ground near the Bab el-Mandeb Strait, a key shipping artery.
援助机构警告称，也门的 humanitarian（人道主义）状况正在迅速恶化。
Aid agencies have warned of rapidly worsening conditions in Yemen.
人道主义危机“目前没有配套设施的营地来接收这些家庭。我们发现有些家庭居住在大型未完工的建筑里，”塔伊兹省穆扎法尔区流离失所者营地管理执行单位主任艾哈迈德·贾拉尔说。
HUMANITARIAN CRISIS "There are no camps equipped to receive these families. We find some of these families living in large unfinished buildings," said Ahmed al-Jalal, director of the Executive Unit for the Management of Displaced Persons' Camps, Al-Muzaffar district, in Taiz governorate.
“有些人住在商铺里，有些人住在不适宜居住的建筑里，缺乏基本生活必需品，”他补充道。
"Some are in shops, some in buildings unfit for living, with no essentials for living," he added.
在日内瓦向记者发表讲话时，联合国移民机构发言人佐伊·布伦南表示，截至目前，最新冲突已导致233,077人流离失所，其中121,530人位于泰兹。
Speaking to reporters in Geneva, Zoe Brennan, spokesperson for the UN migration agency, said 233,077 people have been displaced so far in the latest conflict, 121,530 of them in Taiz.
世界卫生组织发言人塔里克·贾萨雷维奇表示，12家医院仅有约四天的燃料储备，同时氧气和药品短缺。
World Health Organization spokesperson Tarik Jašarević said 12 hospitals had about four days of fuel while there was a shortage of oxygen and medicines.
“泰兹正被切断，其医院的物资正在耗尽，因为战斗已蔓延至市区，而主要转诊医院就位于此地，”他说。“不幸的是，道路封锁正在阻碍补给。”路透社
"Taiz is being cut off, and its hospitals are running out of supplies as fighting has reached urban districts where the main referral hospitals stand," he said. "Unfortunately, the road closures are blocking the resupply." REUTERS
