The United Nations (UN) has reported that the world is facing its biggest humanitarian crisis since 1945. It has issued a plea to all nations to help avoid "a catastrophe". UN Emergency Relief Coordinator, Stephen O'Brien, warned that more than 20 million people face the threat of starvation and famine in Kenya, Nigeria, Somalia, South Sudan and Yemen. He stressed there was an urgent need for, "accelerated global efforts to support UN humanitarian action on the ground". Mr O'Brien told the UN Security Council: "We stand at a critical point in history. Already at the beginning of the year we are facing the largest humanitarian crisis since the creation of the UN."

聯(lián)合國報告稱，全世界面臨自1945年以來最嚴(yán)重的人道主義危機(jī)。聯(lián)合國請求所有國家行動起來避免一場“災(zāi)難”。緊急救助協(xié)調(diào)員奧布萊恩(Stephen O’Brien)警告稱，肯尼亞，尼日利亞，索馬里，南蘇丹和也門共有超過2000萬人面臨餓死或饑荒的威脅。他強(qiáng)調(diào)，目前迫切需要“全球加速支持聯(lián)合國在當(dāng)?shù)氐娜说乐髁x行動”。奧布萊恩告訴聯(lián)合國安理會：“我們正處于歷史上一個關(guān)鍵時刻。新年伊始，我們正面臨自聯(lián)合國成立以來最大的人道主義危機(jī)。”

The UN warned of a bleak future for millions in the affected African countries and Yemen. It said: "Without collective and coordinated global efforts…people risk starving to death and succumbing to disease … [with] stunted children, lost futures, mass displacements and reversed development gains." While the natural El Nino weather phenomenon has brought little or no rain, a lot of the problems fuelling the crisis are man made. War and conflicts are displacing many in these countries and are hampering efforts to distribute aid. There are reports of aid convoys being attacked. Mr O'Brien said: "It is possible to avert this crisis, to avert these famines, to avert these looming human catastrophes. It is all preventable."

聯(lián)合國警告稱，對于受影響的非洲國家和也門數(shù)百萬人來說，未來的前景非常凄慘。“如果沒有全球集中的，協(xié)調(diào)的努力，人們會面臨餓死，或死于疾病，兒童發(fā)育遲緩，失去未來，大規(guī)模流離失所，發(fā)展成果倒退等風(fēng)險。”厄爾尼諾這種自然天氣現(xiàn)象造成降雨稀少或沒有降雨，許多問題加劇了人為造成的危機(jī)。戰(zhàn)爭和沖突導(dǎo)致這些國家許多人背井離鄉(xiāng)，阻礙了救援物資的分發(fā)。還有報道稱救援車隊遭遇襲擊。奧布萊恩表示：“要避免這場危機(jī)，避免饑荒，避免這場慘絕人寰的人類悲劇是可能的。這是完全可以預(yù)防的。”
