Yemen could see as many as 250,000 new cases of cholera within six months, in addition to 50,000 already reported, the World Health Organization said Friday.

世界卫生组织于本周五表示,除已报道的5万例感染病例外,也门在过去六个月至少新增了25万霍乱感染病例。

"The speed of the resurgence of this cholera epidemic is unprecedented," Nevio Zagaria, WHO country representative for Yemen, told reporters during a conference call.

世界卫生组织驻也门代表尼维奥·扎加利亚在一次电话会议上向记者透露:“这次霍乱疫情的恢复速度是史无前例的。”

He said the death toll from the outbreak has already reached 240 and more than 50,000 cases have been registered in the past three weeks.

他表示,自疫情爆发以来,在过去的三周里,死亡人数已经达到240人,并且有超过5万例病例已被确认。

Two years into a war between Houthi rebels and government forces allied with a Saudi-led Arab military coalition, which has killed more than 8,000 people, Yemen has declared a state of emergency Sunday in the capital, Sana'a, over the outbreak.

也门早在两年前就陷入了胡塞叛军与政府和沙特联军的内战中,并已有超过8000人死于战火。由于霍乱爆发,也门首都萨那宣布进入紧急状态。

Fighting has taken a toll on medical facilities in the war-torn country, as more than half of Yemen's facilities, which are now operated by Houthi rebels, no longer function.

战争已经对这个饱受战火摧残的国家的医疗设施造成了损失,也门一半以上的设施都是由胡塞叛军控制的,现在已经不再正常运作了。

The U.N. says some 17 million of Yemen's 26 million people lack sufficient food and at least three million malnourished children are in "grave peril."

联合国称,在也门的2600万人口中,约有1700万人缺乏足够的食物,至少有300万营养不良的儿童处于“极度危险状态”之中。

Yemen, which is the Arab world's poorest nation, is now classified by the World Health Organization as a level three emergency, alongside Syria, South Sudan, Nigeria and Iraq. This is the country's second cholera outbreak in less than a year.

作为阿拉伯世界最贫穷的国家,也门现在已经被世界卫生组织列为三级紧急状态,与叙利亚、南苏丹、尼日利亚和伊拉克并列。这是该国在不到一年之内第二次爆发霍乱。

Cholera is highly contagious and can be contracted from ingesting contaminated food and water.

霍乱的传染率十分高,食用被污染的食物和水都有可能因此被感染。
