The UN on Tuesday warned that the humanitarian situation in Yemen's Taiz is worsening, as road closures and insecurity block vital supplies from reaching millions.
发言人斯特凡·杜加里克在新闻发布会上表示,“道路封锁和不安全局势正在阻止包括燃料在内的关键物资进入该城市及周边地区,使数百万人面临失去基本商品和服务的风险。”杜加里克援引一线同事的情况称,塔伊兹的局势“正在恶化”。
Spokesperson Stephane Dujarric told a news conference that "road closures and insecurity are preventing vital supplies, including fuel, from entering the city and surrounding areas, leaving millions of people at risk of losing access to essential goods and services." Dujarric said the situation in Taiz "is deteriorating," citing colleagues on the ground.
他说:“我们和我们的合作伙伴正在竭尽全力支持有需要的人,并帮助将基本商品、服务和医疗物资送入塔伊兹。”
"We and our partners are doing everything possible to support people in need and help bring essential goods, services and medical supplies into Taiz," he said.
但他强调,“如果基本物资无法运抵该城市,人道主义努力就无法满足这些需求。”“道路必须打通,”杜加里克补充道。
He stressed, however, that "humanitarian efforts cannot meet these needs if essential supplies are prevented from reaching the city." "Roads must open," Dujarric added.
他援引联合国难民署的数据警告称,这场危机还在推动该国进一步流离失所。
Citing the UN Refugee Agency, he warned that the crisis is also driving further displacement in the country.
杜加里克说:“流离失所在全国范围内持续急剧上升,截至10月17日已超过25万人,高于此前报告的近21.3万人。”
Displacement "continues to rise sharply across the country, reaching more than a quarter of a million people as of 17 October, up from close to 213,000 previously reported," said Dujarric.
他补充道,“住所仍然是新流离失所家庭最迫切提及的需求。”也门自2014年以来陷入冲突,当时胡塞武装夺取了首都萨那和北方大部分地区。
He added that "shelter remains the most cited need among newly displaced families." Yemen has been engulfed in conflict since 2014, when the Houthis seized the national capital, Sanaa, and much of the north.
