世界卫生组织表示,11月5日盟军民主力量(ADF)袭击刚果(金)东部Cantine-Aloya村造成的死亡人数已翻倍至66人,较最初统计数字上升。该武装组织活跃于该地区,被指责在北基伍省及周边地区发动了一系列针对平民的袭击。

The World Health Organization says the death toll from a November 5 raid by the Allied Democratic Forces on Cantine-Aloya, in eastern Democratic Republic of Congo, has doubled to 66. The attack also disrupted Ebola contact-tracing efforts in the area, compounding the public-health response. Authorities have not announced a timeline for resuming the tracing work.

世卫组织称,此次袭击还迫使医疗小组在该地区开展的埃博拉病毒接触者追踪工作被迫中止,称这是对公共卫生应对工作的严重挫折。接触者追踪用于识别和监测可能接触过病毒的人员,该工作的中断增加了病毒未被发现传播的风险。

The World Health Organization says the death toll from a November 5 attack by the Allied Democratic Forces on the village of Cantine-Aloya, in eastern Democratic Republic of Congo, has doubled to 66, up from an initial count. The ADF, an armed group active in the region, has been blamed for a string of attacks on civilians in North Kivu and neighbouring areas. The raid also forced a halt to Ebola contact-tracing work that health teams had been carrying out in the area, the WHO said, calling it a serious setback to the public-health response.

近年来,刚果(金)东部面临反复的武装团体暴力与公共卫生紧急情况并存的局面。当局尚未说明追踪小组何时能在Cantine-Aloya恢复行动,世卫组织也未给出目前可能有多少接触者未被纳入追踪的修正估算。

Contact tracing is used to identify and monitor people who may have been exposed to the virus, and a gap in that work raises the risk of undetected transmission. Eastern Congo has faced repeated armed-group violence alongside public-health emergencies in recent years. Authorities have not said when tracing teams might be able to resume operations in Cantine-Aloya, and the WHO has not given a revised estimate of how many contacts may now be unaccounted for.
