联合国儿童基金会 尼日利亚近25万儿童严重营养不良

Almost a quarter of a million children in parts of Nigeria's Borno state formerly controlled by Boko Haram are suffering from severe malnutrition, the UN children's agency says.

联合国儿童基金会日前表示，以前由博科圣地所管辖的尼日利亚博尔诺州地区，一百万名儿童中有近四分之一严重营养不良。

Tens of thousands will die if treatment does not reach them soon, Unicef warns.

联合国儿童基金会警告称，如果不尽快接收治疗，成千上万名儿童将面临死亡。

In areas where Boko Haram militants had been in control, it found people without water, food or sanitation.

在博科圣地武装分子所控制的地区，那里的人们没有水、食物以及卫生设施供应。

It said that of the 244,000 children found to be suffering from severe acute malnutrition in Borno, almost one in five would die if they were not reached with treatment.

据悉，在博尔诺州，244000名儿童患有严重急性营养不良，如果不接收治疗，近五分之一的儿童会面临死亡。

'Some 134 children on average will die every day from causes linked to acute malnutrition if the response is not scaled up quickly', said Manuel Fontaine, Unicef's Regional Director for Western and Central Africa. 'We need all partners and donors to step forward to prevent any more children from dying. No-one can take on a crisis of this scale alone.'

“如果响应不迅速扩大，平均每天将有134名儿童死于急性营养不良，”联合国儿童基金会非洲中西部区域主任曼努埃尔·方丹如是说。“我们需要所有合作伙伴和捐助，共同努力来阻止更多的儿童面临死亡。没有人能独自处理这种规模的危机。”

'There are two million people we are still not able to reach in Borno state, which means that the true scope of this crisis has yet to be revealed to the world', he added. 'There are organisations on the ground doing great work, but none of us are able to work at the scale and quality that we need. We must all scale up.'

“目前还有两百万人无法达到博尔诺州，这意味着这场危机的真正规模尚未向世界展露，” 他补充道。“一些组织在做一些伟大的工作，但是规模和质量还远远不够，我们必须扩大规模。”
