無人機攻擊衣索比亞流離失所者營地至少15死，消息人士表示

奈洛比，10月30日（路透社）——參與救援行動的兩名消息人士週五表示，一連串無人機攻擊擊中衣索比亞阿姆哈拉州一處流離失所平民營地，造成至少15人死亡，其中數人是兒童。NAIROBI, Oct 30 (Reuters) - At least 15 people, several of them children, died in a series of drone strikes that hit a camp for displaced civilians in Ethiopia's Amhara region, two sources involved in a rescue operation said on Friday.

目前尚不清楚該營地為何遭鎖定，或是誰發動攻擊。不過，這些攻擊凸顯當地衝突仍在持續，儘管上月由來自北部提格雷州的叛軍聯盟與阿迪斯阿貝巴政府之間爆發的激烈戰鬥已暫時趨緩。It was not clear why the camp was targeted or who was behind the attack, but the strikes highlight continuing clashes in the area despite a lull in the heavy fighting that erupted last month between an alliance of rebels from northern Tigray region and the government in Addis Ababa.

一名參與安葬工作的社區代表告訴路透社：「大約有五次爆炸。然後……我們開始收集遺體。」由於此事敏感，這名代表要求不具名。"There were around five explosions. Then … we started collecting bodies," a community representative involved in the burials told Reuters, asking not to be named due to the sensitivity of the issue.

這名代表表示，他們協助在該營地安葬13人。這處營地名為賈里2號（Jari 2），收容了逾1,700名逃離先前暴力事件的人。The representative said they helped bury 13 people at the camp, which is known as Jari 2 and is home to more than 1,700 people who fled previous violence.

另有兩名傷者後來在距離17公里（10英里）外的海克（Hayk）鎮一家醫院死亡。Two of the injured later died at a hospital in Hayk, a town 17 km (10 miles) away.

衣索比亞總理阿比・艾哈邁德（Abiy Ahmed）的發言人未立即回應採訪請求。一名地方官員表示，他們知悉這起事件，並正協助36名傷者接受醫療救治。A spokesperson for Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed did not immediately respond to requests for comment. A local official said they were aware of the incident and were helping get medical treatment to 36 people who had been injured.

一名失去家人的男子描述，他週三看到一架無人機在上空盤旋，週四又再度返回。A man who lost a family member described seeing a drone circling overhead on Wednesday and then returning on Thursday.

這名親屬告訴路透社：「然後最後它擊中了營地……三次。他們的身體部位散落各處。我們收集了他們的遺體碎片並予以安葬。」“Then finally it hit the camp … three times,” the relative told Reuters. “Their body parts were scattered everywhere. We collected and buried pieces of their body parts.”

營地遭攻擊時 當地沒有戰鬥NO FIGHTING IN THE AREA WHEN CAMP HIT

一名協助為倖存者提供庇護的海克居民也表示，有15人喪生。這名居民說：「營地裡的人現在暫時住在一所學校。」A resident of Hayk who was helping provide shelter to survivors also said 15 people had been killed. "Those from the camp are now sheltering in a school," the resident said.

據兩名參與救援的消息人士說，死者包括5名兒童。The dead included five children, according to the two sources involved in the rescue.

其中一名罹難者的親屬表示，他們看到至少10名5歲以下受傷兒童正在接受治療。The relative of one of the victims said they had seen at least 10 injured children under the aged of five receiving treatment.

三名消息人士都表示，攻擊發生時當地沒有戰鬥，但由提格雷武裝人員主導的叛軍聯盟成員、阿姆哈拉法諾民族運動（Amhara Fano National Movement）當時就在附近。All three sources said there had been no fighting in the area when the strike took place, but members of the Amhara Fano National Movement, which is part of the rebel alliance spearheaded by fighters from Tigray, had been nearby.

自9月23日叛軍聯盟發動攻勢以來，政府軍已將其擊退。Government troops have driven back the rebel alliance since their offensive was launched on September 23.

政府軍本月稍早重新奪回提格雷州首府，並朝厄利垂亞邊境推進；衣索比亞指控厄利垂亞派兵越境支持叛亂。They retook the capital of Tigray region earlier this month and advanced towards the border with Eritrea, which Ethiopia accuses of supporting the rebellion by sending troops over the border.

厄利垂亞否認這項指控，並表示阿迪斯阿貝巴關於厄利垂亞部隊入侵的指控，等同於「宣戰」。Eritrea denies the accusation and says Addis ‌Ababa's allegations of an invasion by Eritrean forces amounted to a "declaration of war".

非洲之角各項衝突彼此交織，鄰國與更遠方的勢力支持各自代理人。在此情況下，專家警告，衣索比亞的戰爭可能引發區域內更廣泛的衝突。Given the web of interconnected conflicts in the Horn of Africa, with neighbouring countries and powers further afield backing their respective proxies, experts have warned that war in Ethiopia could trigger a broader conflict in the region.
