联合国机构周二警告称，也门塔伊兹省超过160万名儿童面临失去供水服务的风险，战斗和燃料短缺正威胁着关键服务。
More than 1.6 million children in Yemen's Taiz governorate risk losing access to water as fighting and fuel shortages threaten critical services, UN agencies warned Tuesday.
联合国儿童基金会驻也门代表阿基尔·伊耶尔在日内瓦对记者表示，由于战斗扰乱了关键供应路线，服务于约300万人的供水系统正面临风险，其中包括至少160万名儿童。
UNICEF Representative in Yemen Akhil Iyer told reporters in Geneva that water systems serving an estimated 3 million people, including at least 1.6 million children, were at risk as fighting disrupted critical supply routes.
伊耶尔说：“柴油短缺可能导致水泵停止运转，而自最近一轮冲突升级以来，卡车运水的成本已上涨了两倍。”
"Diesel shortages threaten to bring water pumps to a halt, while the cost of trucked water has tripled since this latest escalation," Iyer said.
他说，今年塔伊兹已有超过16.8万名儿童接受了营养不良筛查，其中超过5.2万人被发现患有严重急性营养不良，几乎占受筛查人数的三分之一。
He said more than 168,000 children had been screened for malnutrition in Taiz this year, with over 52,000 found to be acutely malnourished, nearly one in three screened.
他警告说：“对塔伊兹的儿童来说，饥饿、不安全的饮用水和疾病正日益成为一种危险的组合。”
"For children in Taiz, hunger, unsafe water and disease are becoming an increasingly dangerous combination," he warned.
联合国难民署发言人马修·索尔特马什表示，截至10月17日，也门全国流离失所人数已超过25万人，高于此前报告的近21.3万人。
UN refugee agency (UNHCR) spokesperson Matthew Saltmarsh said displacement across Yemen exceeded 250,000 people as of Oct. 17, up from nearly 213,000 previously reported.
他在日内瓦对记者说，塔伊兹占流出人数的76%，并收容了52%的新增流离失所者。
Taiz accounted for 76% of departures and hosted 52% of newly displaced people, he told reporters in Geneva.
据联合国难民署称，在新近流离失所的家庭中，住所是最常被提及的需求，其次是食品和现金援助。
According to UNHCR, shelter was the most frequently cited need among newly displaced families, followed by food and cash assistance.
该机构表示，其在阿比扬、亚丁、马里布、拉赫季和塔伊兹评估了12283个流离失所家庭，其中约2050个家庭没有住所。
The agency said it assessed 12,283 displaced households across Abyan, Aden, Marib, Lahj and Taiz, including some 2,050 households without shelter.
医院面临严重短缺 世界卫生组织发言人塔里克·亚沙雷维奇警告说，塔伊兹的12家医院仅剩约四天的燃料储备，而127种基本药物中有115种的库存仅够维持约一周或更短时间。
Hospitals face critical shortages World Health Organization spokesperson Tarik Jasarevic warned that 12 hospitals in Taiz have approximately four days of fuel remaining, while 115 of 127 essential medicines had supplies sufficient for about one week or less.
该机构表示，也门的人道主义和卫生危机正在迅速恶化，塔伊兹的卫生系统处于“严重风险”之中。亚沙雷维奇说，1110名透析患者、192名重症监护患者和154名在保温箱中的新生儿依赖医院不间断的服务。
The agency said Yemen's humanitarian and health crisis was escalating rapidly, with Taiz's health system at "critical risk." Jasarevic said 1,110 dialysis patients, 192 intensive care patients and 154 newborns in incubators depended on uninterrupted hospital services.
世界卫生组织的数据显示，第36至第40个流行病学周期间，每周疑似霍乱病例数也从221例激增至683例。
Weekly suspected cholera cases also surged from 221 to 683 between epidemiological weeks 36 and 40, according to the World Health Organization.
亚萨雷维奇表示，为期90天的紧急应对行动所需3100万美元中仅落实了380万美元，资金缺口达2720万美元。
Jasarevic said only $3.8 million of the $31 million required for a 90-day emergency response had been secured, leaving a funding gap of $27.2 million.
联合国机构敦促各方保护平民，维护供水与卫生设施，确保人道主义援助安全通行，以防局势进一步恶化。
UN agencies urged all parties to protect civilians, safeguard water and health facilities, and ensure safe humanitarian access to prevent further deterioration.
