BBC News: 也門戰(zhàn)爭導致100萬兒童面臨饑荒的威脅

The charity Save the Children says renewed fighting in Yemen has left another 1 million children at risk of famine. Our correspondent Naomi Grimli reports. The battle for the city of Hodeida could have serious knock-on effects in the country where 5.2 million children are now thought to be at risk of famine. And half of all children are stunted. Save the Children is particularly worried that if the port is damaged or temporarily closed by fighting, food and fuel prices will rise further than they already have, and hundreds of thousands of malnourished children will be unable to get the meals they need to stay alive.

慈善組織救助兒童會表示，也門新近爆發(fā)的戰(zhàn)爭又導致100萬兒童面臨饑荒的威脅。請聽我臺記者內(nèi)奧米[Naomi Grimli]發(fā)回的報道。對荷臺達之爭可能會對也門產(chǎn)生嚴重的連帶影響，也門的520萬兒童現(xiàn)在即將面臨饑荒的威脅。其中有半數(shù)兒童已經(jīng)是營養(yǎng)不良。救助兒童會尤其擔心的是一旦該港市遭到破壞或者因戰(zhàn)事而被關(guān)閉，那么糧食和燃料價格會在現(xiàn)有基礎(chǔ)上進一步抬高。很多營養(yǎng)不良的兒童將因無法獲得必要的食物而死亡。

The Australian Prime Minister Scott Morrison has announced tougher prison sentences for anyone caught tampering with the food chain. An investigation is continuing into needles found in strawberries. Horrel Griffith reports. It's nearly a week since the first needle was found in the punnets of strawberries bought in Queensland. Since then, over 100 cases have been reported across Australia, although many are thought to be hoaxes and copycat incidents. With growers having to dump tons of unwanted fruit, the government has announced financial help for the industry and tougher sentences for anyone tampering with produce including a maximum prison term of 15 years. Prime Minister Scott Morrison said whoever is behind the current outbreak is a coward and grub, pleading that they will be caught.
