The number of people at risk of starvation in the drought-ravagedHornof Africa has increased to 22 million, the UN’s world food programme (WFP) says. Years of insufficient rainfall across Kenya, Somalia and Ethiopia have caused the worst drought in 40 years and conditionsakin tofamine in the hardest-hit areas, aid groups say.
联合国世界粮食计划署称，在干旱肆虐的非洲之角，处于饥饿风险的人数已增至2200万。援助组织称，肯尼亚、索马里和埃塞俄比亚连年降雨不足，导致40年来最严重的干旱，受灾最严重的地区近乎出现了饥荒。
An unprecedented four failed rainyseasonshas killed millions of livestock, destroyed crops and forced 1.1 million people from their homes in search of food and water.“The world needs to act now to protect the most vulnerable communities from the threat of widespread famine in the Horn of Africa,” the WFP executive director, David Beasley, said on Friday.
史无前例的连续四个雨季降雨不足已经导致数百万牲畜死亡，庄稼被毁，多达110万名居民为了寻找食物和水，被迫背井离乡。世界粮食计划署执行主任戴维·比斯利上周五表示：“现在世界需要行动起来，保护最脆弱的地区社会，以抵御非洲之角饥荒的威胁。”
At the start of 2022, WFP warned that 13 million people across the three countries faced starvation, and appealed for donors to open their purses at a time of great need. But funds were slow in coming, with Russia’s invasion of Ukraine among other crises drawing attention from the disaster in the Horn, humanitarian workers said.
在2022年年初，世界粮食计划署曾警告说，肯尼亚、索马里、埃塞俄比亚有1300万人面临饥饿，并呼吁各方在危难之时踊跃捐款。翻译划线句，长按文末小程序码打卡，答案下期公布~
By the middle of the year, when rain failed to appear again in Kenya, Ethiopia and Somalia, the number in extreme need soared to 20 million and warnings of famine grew more urgent. WFP says that by September at least 22 million people could face starvation.
到今年年中，肯尼亚、埃塞俄比亚和索马里还是没有降雨，需要紧急援助的人数飙升至2000万，饥荒预警变得更加紧迫。世界粮食计划署表示，到9月份，至少有2200万人可能面临饥饿。
“This number will continue to climb, and the severity of hunger will deepen if the next rainy season … fails and the most vulnerable people do not receivehumanitarian relief,” WFP said in a statement. “Needs will remain high into 2023 and famine is now a serious risk, particularly in Somalia”, where nearly half the population of 15 million is seriously hungry. WFP said $418m was needed over the next six months to help the worst-off.
“这个数字还会继续攀升，如果下一个雨季仍然没有下雨，饥荒程度会进一步恶化……”，世界粮食计划署在一份声明中说:“受影响最严重的人得不到人道主义救援。”“到2023年，需求仍将居高不下，饥荒现在是一个严重的风险，尤其是在索马里”，该国1500万人口中有近一半处于严重饥饿状态。世界粮食计划署表示，未来6个月需要4.18亿美元来援助情况最严重的人。
