联合国难民署警告:约5万人逃离埃塞俄比亚奥罗米亚冲突进入肯尼亚莫亚莱,紧急物资先供近1.2万人

联合国难民署(UNHCR)10月28日发出警报:埃塞俄比亚奥罗米亚地区持续的冲突正迫使大批民众越境进入肯尼亚,估计约50,000人已抵达边境城镇莫亚莱(Moyale),其中相当一部分自10月22日以来到达,逃亡者中许多是妇女与儿童,肯尼亚一侧的人道需求快速上升。
难民署发言人 Eujin Byun 表示,难民署已部署应急团队,正与肯尼亚当局及人道伙伴密切合作应对,并为近12,000人调集紧急物资,同时扩大援助、为逃离暴力的人寻找远离边境的更安全安置地点。部分流离失所者投亲靠友或由收容社区接纳,另一些人栖身于学校与教堂。
难民署表示,目前最迫切的需求是食物,其次是安全饮用水、紧急住所、卫生设施与医疗服务;远离边境的安全住宿方案也在确定之中。
UNHCR Warns as About 50,000 People Flee Ethiopia's Oromia Hostilities Into Moyale, Kenya
The UN refugee agency, UNHCR, warned on October 28 that a humanitarian emergency is unfolding on the border between Ethiopia and Kenya, where thousands of people are seeking shelter after fleeing ongoing hostilities in Ethiopia's Oromia region. UNHCR cited reports that an estimated 50,000 people have crossed into Moyale in Kenya, with significant numbers arriving since October 22, and said many of those fleeing violence are women and children.
'The UN refugee agency has deployed an emergency team and is working closely with the Kenyan authorities and humanitarian partners to respond. We are also mobilizing emergency supplies for nearly 12,000 people while working to scale up assistance and identify safer locations away from the border for those who are fleeing violence,' spokesperson Eujin Byun said.
While some of the displaced are staying with relatives and host communities, others have sought shelter in schools and churches. Food remains the most urgent need, alongside safe drinking water, emergency shelter, sanitation and healthcare, the agency said, adding that safer accommodation options further away from the border are also being identified.
