IPC:索馬利亞西南部數千名流離失所者恐在年底前陷入饑荒
奈洛比,9 月 23 日(路透社)—— 全球飢餓監測機構週三表示,如果聖嬰現象造成比預期更嚴重的洪災,且人道援助仍然不足,索馬利亞西南部數千名流離失所者可能在 10 月至 12 月間陷入饑荒。NAIROBI, Sept 23 (Reuters) - Thousands of displaced people in Somalia's southwest could experience famine between October and December if El Nino causes worse-than-expected flooding and humanitarian aid remains insufficient, a global hunger monitor said on Wednesday.
• 拜多阿是索馬利亞最大城市之一,收容了數十萬名因衝突與飢餓而流離失所的人。• Baidoa, one of Somalia's biggest cities, is home to hundreds of thousands displaced by conflict and hunger.
• 聯合國機構、區域組織與援助團體共同推動的「糧食安全階段綜合分類」(Integrated Food Security Phase Classification,IPC)報告指出,拜多阿流離失所者中有 5%,約 2.6 萬人,可能在 10 月至 12 月間面臨飢餓以及生計崩潰。• A report by the Integrated Food Security Phase Classification (IPC), an initiative of UN agencies, regional bodies and aid groups, said that 5% of displaced people in Baidoa, or about 26,000, were likely to face starvation and a collapse in livelihoods in October to December.
• 報告指出,由於反覆乾旱、衝突與援助短缺,超過 500 萬名索馬利亞人——占受分析人口的 26%——已處於危機等級或更嚴重的糧食不安全狀態。• More than 5 million Somalis, 26% of the analysed population, are already suffering crisis-level food insecurity or worse due to repeated droughts, conflict and aid shortfalls, the report said.
• 10 月至 12 月間,受糧食不安全影響的人數預估為 540 萬人。• The number suffering food insecurity is forecast at 5.4 million people in October to December.
• 10 月至 12 月間,預計糧食援助每月只能送達 7 萬 400 人,僅占有需求者的 1.3%。• Food aid is expected to reach only 70,400 people per month in October to December, or 1.3% of those in need.
• 估計到明年 6 月前,192 萬名 6 個月至 5 歲兒童將需要接受急性營養不良治療,其中包括 43 萬 3000 起重症病例。• An estimated 1.92 million children aged 6 months to 5 years will require treatment for acute malnutrition by next June, including 433,000 severe cases.
• 索馬利亞上一次發生饑荒是在 2011 年,當時約 25 萬人死亡;2017 年與 2022 年也曾瀕臨饑荒。• Somalia last experienced famine in 2011, when around 250,000 people died, and came close in 2017 and 2022.
