加沙儿童营养不良在持续冲突和援助短缺中加剧

摘要

加沙儿童严重营养不良问题日益加重,援助组织和医生报告称,由于长期冲突、供应中断和人道主义通道受限,儿童死亡人数上升,病情恶化。

加沙北部的儿童正面临日益严重的营养不良,援助人员和医生报告称,即使是那些没有既往健康问题的儿童也因缺乏食物而死亡。根据加沙卫生部的数据,过去一个月已有28名儿童因营养不良相关原因死亡,尽管尚不清楚其中有多少患有潜在疾病。联合国及其他专家认为该卫生部数据是目前最可靠的统计数字。

在以色列封锁和援助分发中断数月后,情况进一步恶化。尽管以色列最近允许部分援助进入加沙,并采取了空投和暂时暂停军事行动等措施,人道主义组织表示这些努力并未显著改善食物供应的可及性。联合国估计,加沙市及北部近五分之一的儿童处于急性营养不良状态,本月诊断出营养不良的儿童超过5000名,且这一数字被认为是低估。

医生报告称,由于医疗用品和营养补充品短缺,治疗营养不良儿童的难度日益加大。受影响最严重的是有特殊需求或在冲突中受伤的儿童,他们需要专门的饮食和护理,而这些资源已不再充足。一位母亲希亚姆·阿瓦德描述了她七个月大儿子萨利姆健康状况的恶化,她说:“他体重一直在下降。医院说如果不给他奶,他可能会死。”

以色列否认发生饥荒或儿童挨饿,声称在整个冲突期间已提供足够的食物,并将短缺归咎于哈马斯涉嫌挪用援助。人道主义组织反驳了援助被大量挪用的说法,并指出进入加沙的援助卡车数量远低于联合国所称每天需要的500辆。

持续的战争还导致医疗服务不足和卫生条件恶化,加剧了营养不良的影响。家庭和医护人员持续报告情况恶化,许多儿童现已无法获得所需的营养和治疗。
