索马里难民搬迁到肯尼亚新地点

The Ifo II camp is a sensitive matter between the UNHCR and Kenyan government. Construction began nearly two years ago, as an expansion of the Ifo camp at Dadaab. It was meant to decongest the overcrowding in the three existing camps.

伊福二号营地在联合国和肯尼亚政府间是个敏感事务。营地在将近两年前开始动工，它作为达达阿布伊福营地的扩增营地，用意在解决三个现存营地过度拥挤的情况。

The camp has room for 40,000 people. It has brick houses, clean running water and even school buildings. But, it remains empty. The UNHCR has been urging the Kenyan government to open Ifo II for the past two years. But, the government has refused to allow refugees to live in permanent structures, citing security concerns.

这个营地有可供四万人居住的房舍。有砖房、干净的自来水、甚至还有校舍。但它一直是空置的。联合国难民署两年来敦促肯尼亚政府开放伊福二号营地，但肯尼亚政府以安全理由拒绝让难民住在永久性的建筑。

While this issue remains unresolved, UNHCR spokesman Edwards says the Ifo II Extension is undergoing emergency work to increase its capacity.

虽然这个问题仍悬而未决，联合国难民署爱德华兹说，伊福二号营地正在进行紧急修建以增加容量。

“If you just recall at the time that work stopped or that movement stopped on Ifo II early this year, the capacity was 40,000 people, we need to have space for significantly more," he said. "Tents are already being pitched in Ifo II and we expect the first families to move in soon, with priority given to the extremely vulnerable.”

爱德华兹说：“如果你回想今年早些时候停工或政府停止在伊福二号营地动工，当时的容量是四万人，我们需要增盖来安置更多的人。 有帐篷在伊福二号营地搭起了，我们预期第一批家庭很快就会搬入。这批家庭因为极度脆弱而获得优先权。”

Edwards says the UNHCR has moved thousands of tents to Dadaab over the current crisis, but it is still not enough for the growing refugee population. It says it urgently needs 45,000 more tents and is appealing to donors to respond more generously to its $145 million appeal.

爱德华兹说，联合国难民署为应对目前的危机已经搬了几千个帐篷到达达阿布，但对新增的难民人口还是不够。联合国难民署说，它还需要四万五千个帐篷，并呼吁捐款人更慷慨解囊，回应它们1亿4千5百万美元的捐款需求。

More than 12 million people face hunger and starvation in the Horn of Africa. The UNHCR calls the drought, which is gripping Ethiopia, Kenya, Djibouti, and Somalia, the worst humanitarian crisis in the world. Somalia is particularly hard hit. The United Nations has officially declared several regions in south-central Somalia famine zones.

非洲之角有一千两百多万人面临饥饿，联合国难民署称目前肆虐埃塞俄比亚、肯尼亚、吉布提、索马里的旱灾是世界上最严重的人道危机。索马里受创尤其严重。联合国正式宣布了索马里南部到中部几个地区为饥荒区。
