CNN News 也门爆发前所未有霍乱 年底感染者将达百万 20171013
AZUZ: Up next today, we're taking you to Yemen. It's one of the world's countries that's currently struggling with a civil war. It's located in the Middle East.
The fighting has been going on there for more than two years and the side effect of all the violence and political is an outbreak of disease. A lot of Yemen's infrastructure, its roads, buildings, hospitals, have been destroyed. So, even though bacterial infections like cholera are often preventable by doing things like cooking food thoroughly and drinking clean water, many people in Yemen can't get clean water.
And the spread of cholera has now sickened hundreds of thousands across the country.
DIANA MAGNAY, CNN INTERNATIONAL CORRESPONDENT: Fatimar (ph) is being treated for suspected cholera, so is Wojida (ph) and Ariam (ph). They are just three of the more than 400,000 children in Yemen who are believed to have the disease.
The grinding civil conflict between Houthi militants and the internationally recognized Hadi government supported by the U.S.-backed Saudi led coalition begun in 2015. It's resulted in the collapse of the country's health care system and the world's largest humanitarian crisis.
More than half of all health facilities have closed due to damage, destruction, or lack of funds. They're short on medicine and supplies.
That means more than 15 million people, more than half Yemen's population lacked access to basic healthcare.
CNN is not currently able to access many areas in Yemen, but the International Rescue Committee is one of several organizations working there and has provided CNN with this footage. Cholera is caused by ingesting bacteria from contaminated water or food. A disease is treatable, but the cause of the devastation of Yemen's healthcare systems, this is the world's worst cholera outbreak.
According to the U.N., there have been more than 750,000 suspected cases across the country, the largest single year outbreak ever recorded globally, and because there is no clean water or proper , that number could rise to one million by the end of the year.
参考译文:
阿祖兹:接下来我们来关注也门。也门是目前世界上正在内战中挣扎的国家之一。也门位于中东。
也门内战已经持续了两年多的时间,暴力事件以及政治动荡的副作用是疾病的爆发。许多也门的基础设施都遭到了破坏,包括道路、建筑和医院。虽然像霍乱这种细菌感染疾病大多可以通过彻底烹煮食物和饮用清洁的水来预防,但是也门有许多人无法获得干净的饮用水。
霍乱疫情的传播已造成也门数万人感染。
CNN国际记者黛安娜·马格内:法蒂玛因为疑似感染霍乱正在医院接受治疗,沃吉达和阿里亚姆也在接受治疗。这三名儿童只是其中三起病例,据悉,也门有超过40万名儿童感染霍乱。
无休止的也门内战始于2015年,交战双方为胡塞武装分子和国际认可的哈迪政府,哈迪政府还得到了美国支持的沙特阿拉伯领导的联盟的支持。这场内战造成也门医疗体系的崩盘,同时引发了全球最大规模的人道主义危机。
由于破坏、损毁或缺乏资金,也门有超过一半的卫生设施已经关闭。目前也门的药物和供应均短缺。
这意味着有超过1500万人,即也门一半以上的人口无法获得基本医疗服务。
目前CNN无法进入也门境内大部分地区,不过国际救援委员会是多个在也门活动的组织之一,该组织向CNN提供了这份素材。霍乱是由被污染的水源或食物中的细菌引发的疾病。这种疾病可以治愈,但是造成也门医保体系所面临灾难的原因却无法解决,这是全球最严重的霍乱疫情。
据联合国统计,也门的霍乱疑似病例超过75万,是有史以来全球一年内爆发的最严重霍乱疫情。因为也门没有清洁饮用水或良好的卫生条件,霍乱疑似病例数量到年底可能增加到100万。
