也門暴力嚴重影響到平民

Civilians continue to be severely affected by violence in the Yemeni city of Taiz, despite the cease-fire reached two months ago between warring parties, according to the medical charity Médecins Sans Frontières, or Doctors Without Borders.

Some of the fiercest fighting has taken place in densely populated parts of Taiz, including daily shelling, airstrikes, bomb blasts, land mine explosions and sniper fire, an MSF statement said Tuesday.

None of the warring parties appears to be trying to prevent casualties among civilians, the statement said.

MSF called for all parties in Yemen’s conflict to take greater measures to protect civilians, reduce the intense level of conflict and facilitate unrestricted humanitarian access in Taiz.

According to the latest figures released by the U.N. human rights office, more than 3,500 people have been killed and nearly 6,300 wounded in Yemen since the beginning of Saudi Arabia’s bombing campaign against Houthi rebels about 15 months ago.

A report issued by the U.N. Children's Fund on March 29 put the number of children killed at 900 and the injured at 1,300 during the first year of fighting.無國界醫生組織說，雖然也門交戰雙方在兩個月前就達成了停火，但塔伊茲市的暴力衝突還在繼續對平民造成嚴重的影響。

無國界醫生組織星期二發表聲明說，塔伊茲市人口密集區持續發生激烈的戰鬥，那裏每天都有炮擊、空襲、炸彈爆炸、地雷爆炸和狙擊槍聲。

聲明說，交戰各方沒有人做出任何努力來防止平民傷亡。

無國界醫生組織呼籲也門衝突各方，採取更多的措施保護平民，降低衝突的激烈程度，爲人道救援不受限制進入塔伊茲提供便利。

根據聯合國提供的最新數字，自從沙特阿拉伯開始轟炸胡塞抵抗力量以來的15個月裏，有3500多人被打死，將近6300人受傷。

聯合國兒童基金會3月29日公佈的報告提供的數字是，在頭一年的戰鬥中，兒童死亡人數爲900人，受傷的數字是1300人。
