醫生形容敘利亞阿勒頗如地獄一般

As Syrian rebels continue to fight to break the Assad government’s siege on Aleppo, medical workers told U.N. diplomats Monday of the hell Syria’s largest city has become.

敘利亞反政府武裝繼續戰鬥，希望突破阿薩德政府對阿勒頗的包圍，與此同時，醫護人員星期一告訴聯合國外交官員，這個敘利亞最大的城市已經變得如地獄一般。

"The children in Aleppo have no baby milk, the doctors have severe shortages of medicines, blood, sutures and ventilators, and people have no bread, meat, or cooking gas," Dr. Zaher Shaloul of the Chicago-based Syrian American Medical Society ((SAMS)) told members of the Security Council.

設在芝加哥的敘利亞美國人醫學協會的撒魯爾醫生對安理會成員說：“阿勒頗的兒童沒有嬰兒奶粉，藥品、血漿、縫線和呼吸器嚴重缺乏，人們沒有面包、肉或瓦斯。”

Dr. Samer Attar, who also works with SAMS, showed council members pictures of children with amputated legs and brain injuries. He said Aleppo’s hospitals look more like bunkers, surrounded by sandbags and barrels to offer some protections against near daily bombings. He said at one hospital where he worked, patients were treated in the basement because the upper floor was too susceptible to attack.

在該學會工作的阿塔爾醫生向安理會成員展示了腿部截肢和腦部受傷孩子的照片。他說，阿勒頗醫院看上去更象是被沙包和水桶環繞的掩體，爲抵禦幾乎每天都有的轟炸提供一些保護。他說，在他工作的一家醫院，病患在地下室接受治療，因爲樓上太容易受到攻擊。

He scolded the council for its lack of action and urged it to do more. “This body does have the power to make all of this stop. This body has the power to save lives and limbs on a scale that doctors cannot,” he said.

阿塔爾批評安理會缺乏行動並敦促安理會做出更多努力。他表示，安理會具有讓這一切停止的力量，也有拯救生命的力量，其拯救規模是醫生們所達不到的。
