人道主义官员周六表示，已有超过1.4万埃塞俄比亚人为逃避埃塞俄比亚南部的致命冲突，逃往邻国肯尼亚。官员指出，敌对社区之间的冲突已造成十多人死亡。
More than 14,000 Ethiopians have fled deadly fighting in southern Ethiopia into neighboring Kenya, humanitarian officials said on Saturday, noting that more than a dozen people have been killed in clashes between rival communities.
肯尼亚红十字会上东部地区负责人马利克·阿丹对记者说：“我们急需更多爱心人士提供食物和水的支持。同时也需要卫生用品和更多厕所，以防止腹泻疾病的发生。”
"We urgently need more well-wishers to support us with food and water. There is also a need for sanitary supplies and more toilets to avert diarrheal diseases," Malik Adan, Kenya Red Cross head of the Upper Eastern region, told reporters.
肯尼亚红十字会表示，超过1.09万名流离失所者被安置在肯尼亚边境城镇莫亚莱的六个临时营地，另有4000人与亲戚及接待家庭同住。
The Kenya Red Cross said more than 10,900 displaced people were being accommodated at six temporary camps in the Kenyan border town of Moyale, while another 4,000 were staying with relatives and host families.
这些数字与周五相比大幅增加。当时，马萨比特郡专员斯坦利·卡曼德表示，自周三暴力事件爆发以来，已有超过2000名埃塞俄比亚人进入肯尼亚。
The figures mark a sharp increase from Friday, when Marsabit County Commissioner Stanley Kamande said more than 2,000 Ethiopians had crossed into Kenya following the outbreak of violence on Wednesday.
居民在社交媒体上报告称，冲突双方的激烈枪炮声持续不断，使得肯尼亚成为许多逃离暴力的平民唯一的避难所。
Residents reported on social media that heavy gunfire and shelling continued from both sides of the conflict, leaving Kenya as the only refuge for many civilians fleeing the violence.
冲突涉及埃塞俄比亚南部边境地区的奥罗莫族和索马里族社区。因在奥罗米亚州管辖区域悬挂索马里州旗帜一事引发争端，导致紧张局势升级。两者均为埃塞俄比亚的联邦州。
The fighting involves Oromo and Somali communities in Ethiopia's southern border region, where a dispute over the display of the Somali Regional State flag in an area administered by Oromia has fueled tensions. Both are federal regions of Ethiopia.
人道主义官员称，周五报道至少有9人死亡，但随着激烈战斗持续，担心死亡人数可能超过十几人。
At least nine deaths were reported on Friday, but there are fears that more than a dozen people may have been killed as heavy fighting continues, according to humanitarian officials.
肯尼亚红十字会已分发帐篷、毛毯、睡垫等基本物资，并为儿童和哺乳期母亲提供营养援助。
The Kenya Red Cross has distributed tents, blankets, sleeping mats and other essential supplies while providing nutritional assistance to children and breastfeeding mothers.
地方政府承诺提供包括大米和豆类在内的额外粮食供应，但人道主义官员警告称，现有资源可能无法满足不断增长的流离失所人口的需求。
Local authorities have pledged additional food supplies, including rice and beans, but humanitarian officials warn that available resources may not meet the needs of the growing displaced population.
莫亚莱是这两个东非国家之间的主要边境口岸，位于肯尼亚首都内罗毕以北约780公里（485英里）处，以及埃塞俄比亚首都亚的斯亚贝巴以南约775公里（482英里）处（按公路里程计算）。持续的战斗已扰乱跨境贸易，并引发对进一步流离失所的担忧。
Moyale, a major crossing between the two East African countries, lies approximately 780 kilometers (485 miles) north of Nairobi, Kenya's capital, and 775 kilometers (482 miles) south of Addis Ababa, Ethiopia's capital, by road. The continued fighting has disrupted cross-border trade and raised concerns about further displacement.
