联合国人口基金（UNFPA）周二警告称，随着战斗加剧扰乱医疗服务，也门塔伊兹地区有超过1.3万名孕妇缺乏基本医疗保健，引发了对该市主要产科医院可能关闭的担忧。
More than 13,000 pregnant women in Yemen's Taiz region lack essential healthcare as intensified fighting disrupts medical services, the UN Population Fund (UNFPA) warned on Tuesday, raising concerns over the possible closure of the city's main maternity hospital.
联合国人口基金也门代表弗朗切斯科·加尔蒂耶里通过视频连线从亚丁向日内瓦的记者表示，自8月以来，已有近30万人流离失所，来自西海岸和塔伊兹的流离失所者人数增加了两倍。
Francesco Galtieri, UNFPA's Yemen representative, told reporters in Geneva via video link from Aden that nearly 300,000 people have been displaced since August, with displacement from the western coast and Taiz tripling.
他说，流离失所者中超过一半是妇女和儿童，而33%的流离失所家庭由女性担任户主。
He said more than half of those displaced are women and children, while women head 33% of displaced families.
在27家指定的紧急产科和新生儿医院中，仅有五家仍部分运作，导致超过14.7万名育龄妇女和女童获得救命服务的途径受到严重限制。
Of the 27 designated emergency maternal and newborn hospitals, only five remain partially functional, leaving more than 147,000 women and girls of reproductive age with severely restricted access to lifesaving services.
据该代表称，受影响者中包括预计将在未来两周内分娩的1500名孕妇。
Among those affected are 1,500 pregnant women expected to give birth within the next two weeks, according to the representative.
在塔伊兹的主要产科机构，每日分娩量已从10例降至5例，而因燃料短缺，运作中的保温箱已从40台减少至10台。
At Taiz's main maternity facility, daily deliveries have fallen from 10 to five, while operational incubators have dropped from 40 to 10 because of fuel shortages.
加尔蒂耶里警告称，除非在几天内解除准入限制，否则联合国人口基金支持的塔伊兹瑞典母婴医院可能面临关闭。
Galtieri warned that the UNFPA-supported Swedish Motherhood and Childhood Hospital in Taiz could close unless access restrictions are lifted within days.
他说，由于资金短缺、准入困难和人员限制，75%的保护服务已被暂停。
He said 75% of protection services have been suspended because of funding shortages, access difficulties and staffing constraints.
“不应有任何女性仅仅因为在战区生育新生命就不得不冒生命危险，”他说。
"No woman should have to risk her life simply because she is giving birth to a new life in a war zone," he said.
联合国人口基金已向超过18.2万人提供紧急援助，但加尔蒂耶里强调，安全的人道主义准入仍迫切需要。
UNFPA has reached more than 182,000 people with emergency assistance, but Galtieri stressed that safe humanitarian access remains urgently needed.
“目前，我们开始看到安全饮用水以及食物方面出现重大问题，”他说，并指出营养不良显而易见，每天仅靠“一杯茶，也许还有一些米饭”度日的孕妇人数正在增加。
"Currently, we are starting to see major issues with safe drinking water as well as with food," he said, noting that malnutrition is evident, and the number of pregnant women who are living just on "a cup of tea and maybe some rice every day" is increasing.
加尔蒂耶里表示，由于也门的山区道路难以让卡车通行，尤其是在运输笨重的人道主义物资时，分发基本物资依然面临挑战。
Galtieri said delivering essential supplies remains challenging because Yemen's mountainous roads are difficult for trucks to navigate, particularly when transporting bulky humanitarian supplies.
自2014年胡塞武装夺取首都萨那，促使沙特领导的军事干预于2015年3月介入以支持国际公认政府以来，也门陷入冲突。
Yemen has been mired in conflict since 2014, when Houthi forces seized the capital, Sanaa, prompting a Saudi-led military intervention in March 2015 in support of the internationally recognized government.
冲突引发了世界上最严重的人道主义危机之一，导致数百万人依赖人道主义援助。最新一轮战斗始于7月，此前2022年达成的停火协议破裂。
The conflict has triggered one of the world's worst humanitarian crises, leaving millions of people dependent on humanitarian assistance. The latest fighting began in July after the collapse of a truce arranged in 2022.
