视频:也门战火持续,儿童面临无家可归和营养不良Watch: Children in Yemen face homelessness and malnutrition as war rages

奥拉·盖林 资深国际记者 亚丁 10分钟前 从出生那天起,也就是仅仅七周前,双胞胎拉加德·哈桑和她的兄弟拉德就一直在为生存而挣扎。

Orla Guerin Senior International Correspondent Aden 10 minutes ago From the day they were born, just seven weeks ago, twins Raghad Hassan and her brother Raad have been battling for survival.

他们早产来到这个世界,当时也门旷日持久的内战中,胡塞武装叛军与政府军之间的战斗正在升级。

They came into the world prematurely, as fighting surged in Yemen's long-running civil war between Houthi rebel fighters and government forces.

当胡塞武装抵达他们在也门西南部卡赫布卜山区的村庄时,这个七口之家在炸弹、导弹和无人机袭击中被迫逃离——双胞胎仅靠毯子护身。接下来是徒步三天的路程,前往港口城市亚丁。

When the Houthis reached their village in the Kahboub mountains in south-west Yemen, their family of seven was forced to flee amid bombs, missiles, and drone attacks – the twins protected only by blankets. What followed was three days on foot heading for the port city of Aden.

“非常艰难,”他们的父亲巴贾什·阿里·萨吉尔·哈桑说,他是一位说话温和的牧羊人。“我们找不到汽车或交通工具。一位好心人在[第四天]把我们带到了这里,而其他人则拒绝了。”

"It was very difficult," says their father, Bajash Ali Sagir Hassan, a softly spoken shepherd. "We didn't find cars or transportation.

双胞胎的家人走了三天,之后才搭上车前往亚丁。据他们的母亲莉娜说,一家人步行途中,双胞胎越来越虚弱。“他们筋疲力尽……又冷又有灰尘。他们的呕吐和腹泻更严重了。”当这个刚失去家园的家庭抵达亚丁的萨达卡医院时,双胞胎几乎奄奄一息。“只剩皮包骨,”一位医生看着他们消瘦的四肢,摇着头说。

One kind person brought us here [on the fourth day] while others refused." The twins' family walked for three days before being given a lift to Aden As the family walked, the twins got weaker, according to their mother Lina. "They were exhausted… there was cold and dust. Their vomiting and diarrhoea got worse." By the time the newly homeless family arrived at al-Sadaqah hospital in Aden, the twins were barely clinging to life.

拉德是两人中病情更重的——他的肋骨清晰可见,胸部起伏,呼吸急促而浅。他几乎不比轻轻抱他去称重和量身的护士的手大多少。

"Just skin and bone," said a doctor, shaking his head, as he looked at their wasted limbs. Raad was the sicker of the two - his ribs visible and his chest heaving as he took rapid, shallow breaths.

巴贾什在一旁看着,脸上写满忧虑。他告诉我们,双胞胎每天喂两次,但有时他只能给他们喝水——因为战争推高了婴儿奶粉的价格。诊断很快出来了——严重急性营养不良。这可能和子弹一样致命。

He was barely bigger than the hands of the nurse who carried him gently to be weighed and measured. Bajash looked on, worry etched on his face. He told us the twins were fed twice a day, but sometimes he could only give them water - after the war drove up the price of baby milk. The diagnosis came quickly - severe acute malnutrition.

联合国表示,过去三个月已有超过25万人流离失所。也门的营养不良是一场危机中的危机——这是毁灭性内战中另一条前线。饥饿并非随冲突而来,但它正随着最新的流血事件而蔓延。

That can be as deadly as a bullet. More than 250,000 people have been displaced over the past three months, the UN says Malnutrition in Yemen is a crisis within a crisis - another frontline in a devastating civil war. Hunger did not arrive with conflict, but it's spreading with the latest bloodshed.

联合国表示,自今年夏天非正式停火破裂以来,约80万人无法再获得救生援助,超过25万人流离失所。

The United Nations says around 800,000 people can no longer receive lifesaving aid and more than 250,000 have been displaced, after an informal ceasefire collapsed in the summer.

联合国表示,过去三个月已有超过25万人流离失所More than 250,000 people have been displaced over the past three months, the UN says

此后,胡塞武装沿红海海岸迅速推进,现已完全切断也门第三大城市塔伊兹。

Since then the Houthis have made a lighting advance along the Red Sea coast, and they have now completely cut off Yemen's third largest city, Taiz.

联合国表示,由于物价飞涨,当地平民面临“严重风险”且缺乏食物。

The UN says civilians there are "at grave risk" and lacking food due to soaring prices.

国际公认的政府正在沙特的空袭帮助下反击胡塞武装——或者说试图反击。

The internationally-recognised government is fighting back against the Houthis - or trying to - with the help of Saudi air strikes.

夹在这一切中间的,是像巴贾什这样的父亲,他们正努力为自己的孩子争取帮助。我们还看到另一位母亲带着营养不良的婴儿被拒之门外。

Caught in the middle of all this are fathers like Bajash, fighting to get help for their children. We saw another mother with a malnourished baby being turned away.

拉德无法咽下母亲莉娜喂给他的强化牛奶。我们跟随巴贾什穿过走廊,努力拿到至关重要的入院单。他找到了一位盟友——一位强势的护士长艾莎·拉加卜,她自己在2018年也曾逃离战火。

Raad was unable to keep down the fortified milk he was fed by his mother Lina We followed Bajash as he rushed through the corridors, trying to get the all-important admissions slip. He found an ally, a forceful supervising nurse, Aisha Ragab, who had run from the war herself, back in 2018. "I feel for them," she said, "because I have already lived through the situation myself."

拉德无法咽下母亲莉娜喂给他的强化牛奶Raad was unable to keep down the fortified milk he was fed by his mother Lina

“我同情他们,”她说,“因为我自己已经经历过这种情况。”两张床位找不到,但艾莎没有退缩。

Two beds could not be found, but Aisha was undeterred. "I will settle this by having the twins share a bed... so that we can save them.

“我会让这对双胞胎共用一张床来解决这个问题……这样我们就能救他们。以上帝之名,我会说服他们(医生)。”不到一个小时,这对双胞胎就躺在了一张床上,他们小小的身体占不了多少地方。

By God, I will convince them [the doctors]." Within an hour the twins were lying on a single bed, their tiny bodies taking up little space.

莉娜正用一个小奶瓶给双胞胎喂强化牛奶,但拉德咽不下去。他被抱在她的怀里——眼睛睁得大大的,双颊凹陷。当被问及她是否认为自己的双胞胎会康复时,莉娜轻声回答:“托靠真主。”拉加德和她的兄弟一样,被诊断为严重急性营养不良。当我们走过这个粉色墙壁的病区时,有些门被挂锁锁着。

Lina was feeding them sips of fortified milk from a tiny bottle, but Raad could not keep it down. He was cradled in her arms - his eyes wide and his cheeks sunken. Asked if she thought her twins would recover, Lina replied quietly, "God willing." Raghad, like her brother, was diagnosed as having severe acute malnutrition As we walked through the unit with its pink walls, some doors were padlocked shut. There are 22 beds, but staff told us only 13 patients were admitted at a time - the most critical cases - due to the lack of international funding, staff, and equipment.

拉加德和她的兄弟一样,被诊断为严重急性营养不良Raghad, like her brother, was diagnosed as having severe acute malnutrition

这里有22张床位,但工作人员告诉我们,由于缺乏国际资金、人员和设备,一次只收治13名患者——都是最危重的病例。这对忙碌的年轻医生努尔·穆罕默德来说是一颗难以下咽的苦果。“说起来很伤心,但(由于条件所限)我们会失去病人,”她说。

That's a bitter pill to swallow for Dr Noor Mohammed, a harried young doctor. "It's sad to say, but we lose patients [because of the conditions]," she says. "We don't have good equipment like ventilation machines, and oxygen bottles," she adds.

“我们没有呼吸机、氧气瓶这样的好设备,”她补充道。“没有好的资源。很多实验室检查……很难做。”最近战斗的升级让平民身处交火之中。

"There are no good resources. A lot of laboratory investigations... it's very hard to do them." A recent flare-up in fighting has left civilians in the firing line.

甚至在最新一轮升级之前,联合国就估计今年将有50万也门儿童患有严重急性营养不良。

Even before the latest escalation, the UN calculated that half a million Yemeni children would suffer from severe acute malnutrition this year.

努尔·穆罕默德医生说,没有钱也没有保险的家庭依赖她的医院进行治疗。萨达卡医院的营养不良病区是一条苦难的传送带。一个重病婴儿离开,另一个又来了。而一些出院的孩子又太快地回来了。

Dr Noor Mohammed says families with no money or insurance depend on her hospital for treatment The malnutrition unit in al-Sadaqah hospital is a conveyor belt of suffering. As one severely ill baby leaves, another arrives. And some of those discharged are back all too soon. "Sometimes a child comes back to us after a week, or two days," says Dr Mohammed.

努尔·穆罕默德医生说,没有钱也没有保险的家庭只能依靠她的医院接受治疗Dr Noor Mohammed says families with no money or insurance depend on her hospital for treatment

“有时一个孩子一周后,或者两天后就回到我们这里,”穆罕默德医生说。“有时就是同一天。他们回来,我们收治他们,故事又重新开始。”他们回来是因为父母负担不起适当的营养品、维生素或抗生素。

"Sometimes it is the same day. They come back and we admit them and the story begins again." They return because parents cannot afford proper nutrition or vitamins or antibiotics.

“这里的每个孩子,他们的父母来是因为他们一无所有,”她告诉我。“他们没有钱,也没有保险。他们来这里是因为他们负担不起私立医院。”她说,她为他们尽了最大努力,也为他们哭泣。

"Every child here, his parents came because they don't have anything," she tells me. "They don't have money or insurance. They are here because they can't afford a private hospital."

巴贾什和他的其他孩子被迫睡在街头。许多像巴贾什这样的父母正试图逃离战争与贫困。他如今是一个没有羊群的牧羊人。逃亡时,他不得不丢下10只羊。那些羊是他唯一的生计。

She does her best for them, she says, and she cries for them. Bajash and his other children were forced to sleep on the street Many parents - like Bajash - are trying to outrun both war, and poverty. He is now a shepherd without a flock. When he fled, he had to leave 10 sheep behind. They were his only livelihood.

巴贾什和他的其他孩子被迫睡在街上Bajash and his other children were forced to sleep on the street

在医生监护他的双胞胎时,他照顾着另外三个孩子——都不满五岁。他们在医院接待处的一张长椅上逗留,没有玩具、被褥或任何行李。但他们不能睡在那里。

As doctors monitored his twins, he cared for his three older children - all aged under five. They lingered on a bench in hospital reception without toys, bedding or baggage of any kind. But they could not sleep there.

于是,他们在外面街头过了一夜——又多了一个带着看不见的战争创伤的家庭,而这些创伤将毁掉一代人。危机 胡塞武装

So, they spent the night outside, on the street - one more family with war wounds that cannot be seen but will disfigure a generation. crisis Houthis
