聯合國糧食署獲8千萬捐款 恢復難民救濟

The World Food Program has resumed its program providing food vouchers to Syrian refugees in five countries, following a week of massive fundraising.

世界糧食計劃署在進行了一個星期的大規模籌款之後，恢復向五個國家境內的敘利亞難民提供食品卷。

The U.N. agency had stopped providing the vouchers last week, saying it needed $64 million to meet the needs of 1.7 million refugees in December.

這個聯合國機構上星期因資金短缺而停止提供食品券。 他們說，要有6400萬美元才能滿足170萬難民12月一個月的需求。

The World Food Program said Tuesday that individuals and governments have since contributed $80 million.

世界糧食計劃署星期二說，一些國家的政府和個人捐獻了8千萬美元。

WFP Executive Director Ertharin Cousin called the funding an "unprecedented" outpouring of support.

世界糧食計劃署執行總幹事埃塞林?庫桑說，這筆捐款顯示出“前所未有”的大力支持。

The food vouchers allow refugees to buy food from local vendors in Jordan, Lebanon, Turkey, Iraq and Egypt.

約旦、黎巴嫩、土耳其、伊拉克和埃及境內的敘利亞難民可以用食品券在當地商店購買食物。
