20萬人逃離敘利亞城市阿勒頗

Fighting between Syrian troops and rebels in the country's largest city, Aleppo, has forced 200,000 people to flee the area over the past two days.

Valerie Amos said in a statement Sunday the fighting is making it hard for humanitarian agencies to provide displaced residents with urgently needed food, mattresses, blankets, hygiene supplies and drinking water.

Also Sunday, Jordan opened its first official tent camp for refugees from neighboring Syria. Foreign Minister Nasser Judah said Jordan has taken in 142,000 Syrians, with up to 2,000 more arriving each day.

Turkey has been sheltering more than 44,000 Syrians.

Syrian activists said security forces fired tank shells and artillery against rebel positions in Aleppo Sunday.

敘利亞政府軍和反政府武裝在阿勒頗之間的戰鬥迫使20萬人在過去兩天離開這個地區。阿勒頗是敘利亞的商業中心。

阿莫斯星期天發表聲明說，由於戰鬥仍在進行，人道救援機構很難向難民運送急需的食品、牀墊、毯子、衛生用品以及飲用水。

星期天，約旦爲來自鄰國敘利亞的難民設立了第一個帳篷營。約旦外交大臣朱達說，約旦接納了14萬2千敘利亞人，每天抵達約旦的敘利亞難民多達2千。

土耳其已經接納了4萬4千多敘利亞難民。

敘利亞活動人士說，安全部隊的坦克和大炮星期天轟炸阿勒頗的反政府武裝陣地，但反政府武裝仍在堅守幾天來攻佔的地區，包括薩拉赫丁城區。

敘利亞國家媒體說，政府軍把反政府武裝趕出了阿勒頗的薩拉赫丁城區。
