也门被围困的塔伊兹市：水资源短缺与垃圾堆积引发疾病担忧日内瓦/塔伊兹，10月21日——援助机构和联合国机构表示，在也门塔伊兹市及周边地区，居民们已经开始实行水资源配给制度。由于战斗的重新爆发，该市的燃料供应以及供水系统遭到严重破坏，导致300万居民的生活受到严重影响。
Water rationing, rubbish pile-up raise disease fears in Yemen's besieged Taiz GENEVA/TAIZ, Yemen Oct 21 - Families have started rationing water in and around Yemen's Taiz city, where renewed fighting has disrupted fuel supplies and access to water systems serving 3 million people, aid groups and UN agencies said.
与此同时，主要道路两旁堆积如山的垃圾引发了人们对疾病爆发的担忧。塔伊兹是也门第三大城市。
Meanwhile, mounting piles of rubbish along major roads are raising fears of disease outbreaks in the city, Yemen's third-largest.
自9月以来，沙特支持的政府与伊朗支持的胡塞武装之间的冲突切断了包括塔伊兹-亚丁走廊在内的关键补给路线，使得该市及周边地区的水、食物和燃料供应更加紧张。
Fighting between the Saudi-backed government and the Iran-allied Houthi group since September has cut key supply routes, including the Taiz-Aden corridor, worsening shortages of water, food and fuel in and around the city.
燃料短缺导致水泵无法正常运行，医院也无法提供必要的医疗服务；同时，垃圾收集工作受到干扰，垃圾在街道上堆积如山。塔伊兹曾是反胡塞武装的据点，如今正遭到胡塞武装的围攻。
The lack of fuel is hampering the operation of water pumps and hospitals, while disruption to waste collection has left rubbish piled along roads of the city, a stronghold of anti-Houthi forces which is now under siege by the armed movement.
援助机构称，最近这场冲突导致约25万名流离失所者中的近一半居住在塔伊兹省。
The Taiz governorate hosts nearly half of the 250,000 people displaced by the latest escalation, aid groups said.
“这座城市的垃圾状况极其糟糕，垃圾堆积的程度前所未有，”塔伊兹居民阿卜杜勒巴里·卡迪对路透社表示。
"The state of the rubbish in the city is very wretched, and the build-up is terrible, like nothing before,” Taiz resident Abdelbari al-Qadi told Reuters.
卫生工作者阿里·艾哈迈德称，由于冲突，当局已无法前往主要的垃圾处理场，只能将垃圾在街头焚烧。
Sanitation worker Ali Ahmed said authorities could no longer go to the main dumping site because of clashes, and they were forced to burn it in the streets.
联合国儿童基金会驻也门代表阿基尔·艾耶尔表示：“对于儿童来说，目前的局势极其危险。”
'EXTREMELY DANGEROUS SITUATION' FOR CHILDREN, SAYS RELIEF OFFICIAL Families are rationing drinking water as diesel shortages hobble pumping stations and sanitation systems, said Akhil Iyer, UNICEF's representative in Yemen.
“我们很难获得饮用水。我们从早上就开始排队，直到轮到自己才有机会取水，”阿拉·哈利尔对路透社说。在塔伊兹，大多数居民依赖通过卡车运输的饮用水来维持生活。
"I get the water with difficulty. We wait in queues from the morning until our turn comes,” Alaa Khalil told Reuters while people queued to fill jerry cans in Taiz, where most residents depend on trucked water.
也门泰兹市主要水源——阿勒-杜巴卜含水层的取水通道受到限制，加上燃料供应中断影响了水泵运行，导致严重的水资源危机，泰兹省地方水务和环境卫生局局长瓦西克·阿格巴里表示。据救助儿童会称，泰兹市的产水量下降了约50%。
Access to the Al-Dhubab aquifer, a major source of trucked water for Taiz, has been restricted, while fuel disruptions have affected pumps, creating a severe water crisis, said Wathiq Aghbari, director general of the Local Water and Sanitation Authority in the governorate. Water production in Taiz has fallen by about 50%, according to Save the Children.
救助儿童会也门办事处主任里沙娜·哈尼法说：“我们发现儿童处于极其危险的境地，他们的基本需求无法得到满足。他们无法获得充足的食物、水和医疗服务。”
“We find children in an extremely dangerous situation where they are not able to have their basic needs satisfied. They are not able to access sufficient food and water and healthcare,” said Rishana Haniffa, Save the Children's country director for Yemen.
援助机构正在探索其他水源，包括城市以西的一个浅层含水层。联合国儿童基金会称，一车水的价格已从最近事态升级前的约23000也门里亚尔（约合14.80美元）飙升至约70000里亚尔（约合45美元），涨了两倍。
Aid groups are exploring other sources, including a shallow aquifer west of the city. The cost of a water truck has tripled from about 23,000 Yemeni rials ($14.80) before the latest escalation to about 70,000 rials ($45), according to UNICEF.
国际关怀组织表示，随着物价上涨，现金援助能购买的食物和水越来越少。
CARE International says cash assistance is buying less food and water as prices rise.
国际关怀组织也门办事处主任伊曼·阿卜杜拉希说：“我们感觉局势真的正在失控，除非我们能谈判取得通道，让运水车进入城市。”垃圾堆积“将引发疾病”，卫生官员称泰兹省卫生办公室主任阿卜杜拉赫曼·萨布里表示：“垃圾堆积非常有害，将引发疾病，无论是呼吸道疾病还是其他疾病。”他补充说，登革热和霍乱病例正在蔓延。
“We feel the situation is really getting out of hand unless we able to negotiate access to have water tankers come in to the city,” said Iman Abdullahi, CARE Yemen country director. RUBBISH BUILD-UP 'WILL CAUSE DISEASES', SAYS HEALTH OFFICIAL "The build-up of rubbish is very harmful and will cause diseases, whether respiratory or otherwise," said Abdulrahman al-Sabri, director of Taiz Governorate's Health Office, adding that dengue fever and cholera cases were spreading.
世界卫生组织称，自9月初以来，霍乱病例已从221例激增至本月的683例，增加了两倍；同时医院面临药品短缺，12家医疗机构的燃料储备仅够维持约四天。
Cholera cases have tripled since early September from 221 to 683 this month, while hospitals face medicine shortages and 12 facilities have fuel supplies sufficient for only about four days, the World Health Organization said.
一名出于安全原因要求不具名的医生表示，由于城市周边的战斗，一些家庭无法前往医疗机构就医。
A doctor who asked not to be named for security reasons said some families could not reach healthcare facilities because of fighting around the city.
丹麦难民理事会表示，水和卫生条件恶化的影响可能蔓延至泰兹市以外。该组织指出，在泰兹、拉赫季、阿比扬和亚丁各省拥挤的流离失所者安置点，资源已捉襟见肘。
The Danish Refugee Council said the impact of deteriorating water and sanitation conditions could spread beyond Taiz city. It pointed to overstretched resources in crowded displacement sites across the governorates of Taiz, Lahj, Abyan and Aden.
联合国儿童基金会表示，疾病传播也可能加剧泰兹省的饥饿状况。该机构称，截至今年已在泰兹确认了5.2万名急性营养不良儿童。道路封锁已导致联合国儿童基金会向泰兹运送治疗重度营养不良儿童的治疗性食品的工作停摆。
The spread of disease could also worsen hunger in Taiz governorate, UNICEF said. It has identified 52,000 acutely malnourished children in Taiz so far this year. Road closures have halted UNICEF's deliveries of a therapeutic food for severely malnourished children in Taiz.
