聯合國秘書長安東尼奧古特雷斯對海地暴力升級感到震驚，據報武裝團夥正在首都太子港取得進展

United Nations, Nov 20 (UNI) UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres is alarmed by the escalating violence in Haiti, where armed gangs are reported to be gaining ground in the capital Port-au-Prince, his spokesperson said.

聯合國11月20日電 聯合國秘書長安東尼奧古特雷斯發言人表示，他對海地暴力升級感到震驚，據報道武裝團夥正在首都太子港佔據一席之地。

Guterres on Tuesday strongly supports efforts by the Haitian National Police, with the backing of the Multinational Security Support (MSS) mission to address the mounting violence, Stephane Dujarric, spokesperson for the UN chief, said in a statement.

聯合國秘書長發言人史蒂芬杜雅里克在聲明中表示，古特雷斯週二強烈支持海地國家警察在多國安全支持（MSS）特派團的支持下解決日益嚴重的暴力事件的努力。

The secretary-general reiterates his pressing call to ensure that the MSS mission receives the financial and logistical support it needs to successfully implement its mandate. He also emphasises the importance of urgent progress in the political transition, reports Xinhua news agency.

秘書長重申他的迫切呼籲，以確保MSS任務獲得成功執行其任務所需的財政和後勤支援。據新華社報道，他也強調了政治過渡緊急取得進展的重要性。

Ulrika Richardson, the UN resident and humanitarian coordinator for Haiti, warned earlier this month that the situation in Haiti is very critical, especially in the capital. Many neighbourhoods there are completely under the control of gangs who impose brutal violence, rape women and recruit children into their ranks, and that is extremely worrying.

聯合國海地駐地和人道主義協調員烏爾麗卡·理查森本月稍早警告說，海地局勢非常嚴峻，特別是在首都。那裡的許多社區完全處於幫派的控制之下，這些幫派實施殘酷暴力，強姦婦女並招募兒童加入他們的隊伍，這極其令人擔憂。

Nearly 4,900 people have been killed in Haiti between January and September this year, largely due to the persistent violence across the country, according to the UN Human Rights Office. More than 700,000 people are displaced internally, over half of whom are children. In Port-au-Prince, the deteriorating violence has displaced 12,000 people in recent weeks.

據聯合國人權高專辦稱，今年 1 月至 9 月，海地已有近 4,900 人被殺，主要原因是全國各地持續不斷的暴力事件。超過 70 萬人在國內流離失所，其中超過一半是兒童。在太子港，最近幾週不斷惡化的暴力事件已導致 12,000 人流離失所。
