索马里难民搬迁到肯尼亚新地点

The United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees says it will start moving Somali refugee families into a new area of Kenya’s overcrowded Dadaab refugee complex. The new site, known as Kambioos, is close to the Hagadera camp, one of Dadaab’s three refugee camps.

联合国难民署说，它将开始把索马里难民家庭迁到肯尼亚过度拥挤的达达阿布难民营里的一个新区域。这个新地点为坎比奥斯，靠近达达阿布难民营三个营地之一的哈加德拉营地。

More than 70,0000 Somalis fleeing drought, famine and conflict have arrived at Kenya’s Dadaab camp over the past two months, pushing the overall population to about 440,000. The new influx adds to the existing chaotic conditions of the overcrowded refugee complex.

逃离干旱、饥荒和冲突的70多万索马里人在过去两个月陆续抵达了肯尼亚的达达阿布难民营，使难民营整体人数增加到大约44万人。新的人潮涌入让过度拥挤的难民营更加混乱。

When Dadaab was constructed 20 years ago, it was designed to accommodate about 90,000 people. It has since grown to be the world’s largest refugee camp and, in terms of its population, is now Kenya’s fourth largest city.

达达阿布难民营20年前兴建时，原来是设计容纳大约9万人。从那时以来， 这个难民营已经变成世界上最大的难民营。按人口计算， 它现在是肯尼亚第四大城市。

UNHCR spokesman Adrian Edwards says the camp is bursting with refugees and cannot accommodate more. So, new arrivals are forced to live in squalid, makeshift conditions on its periphery.

联合国难民署发言人爱德华兹说，难民营挤满了难民，容纳不下更多人。所以，新来的难民被迫住在周围肮脏的临时住处。

He says the UN refugee agency is working to ease this shelter crisis by transferring the first of several thousand Somali refugee families into a new site, which is planned to accommodate 90,000 people.

他说，为缓解这个避难所危机，联合国难民署将第一批几千名索马里难民家庭转移到新地点。这个地点计划能容纳九万人。

“Tents and infrastructure are being put in place and will provide much needed shelter and services," he said. "We are currently seeing 1,500 people arriving on average every single day. Many have been settling spontaneously on the outskirts of Ifo, Dagahaley and Hagadera, the three component camps of the complex. As well as needing food and water, these new arrivals urgently need proper shelter, medical help and other basic aid.”

爱德华兹还说：“帐篷和基本建设已经完成了，他们将提供急需的避难和服务。我们目前每天平均有1500人到达。许多人自发性地安顿在伊福、达加哈莱、哈加拉德难民营的外围地带。这三个营地组成了达达阿布难民营。除了急需的粮食和水，这些新来的难民也很需要适当的避难、医疗协助和其他基本援助。”

Meanwhile, Edwards says the relocation of people into the new Ifo III Extension, which began July 25, is continuing. He says more than 15,000 refugees, so far, have been moved into the site.

爱德华兹同时说，从7月25号开始把人安置到伊福三号扩增营地的工作仍在持续进行。他说，目前为止有超过1万5千名难民迁到了这个地点。

In another bid to ease the overcrowding in Dadaab, Edwards says the UNHCR and its partners are working to expand an area, formerly known as Ifo II, to shelter the ever-increasing refugee arrivals.

在缓解过度拥挤的达达阿布难民营的努力上，爱德华兹说，联合国难民署和伙伴机构正在扩建一个原来被称为伊福二号的区域，来容纳还在增加的难民潮。
