联合国世界粮食计划署（WFP）负责人卢克·林德伯格周三表示，加沙地带的饥饿状况“不可接受”，并承诺保护其员工免受袭击。
The UN World Food Program (WFP) chief Luke Lindberg said Wednesday that the hunger situation in the Gaza Strip is "unacceptable" as he pledged to defend his staff against attacks.
林德伯格在纽约联合国总部举行的新闻发布会上表示，加沙存在“非常严重的需求”，并将资金削减列为制约该机构工作的主要因素。
Speaking at a news conference at UN headquarters in New York, Lindberg said that "there is a very serious need" in Gaza, citing funding cuts as a major constraint on the agency's work.
当被问及鉴于其与白宫的关系，将如何应对以色列军队向世界粮食计划署车队开火的问题时，林德伯格表示，员工安全是“我最关心的头号问题”。“无论他们身处地球何处，我都将绝对挺身维护我们的员工，”他说。
Asked how he would address Israeli troops firing on WFP convoys, given his White House connections, Lindberg said staff security is "the number one concern for me." "I will absolutely stand up for our employees, no matter where on Earth they are located," he said.
他补充道：“如果世界上任何地方有人袭击人道主义工作者，我将绝对尽我所能保护他们及其家人免受暴力侵害。”
He added that "if anywhere in the world there are people attacking humanitarians, I will absolutely do what I can to protect them from violence against them and their families."
