埃博拉孤兒：那些在埃博拉疫情爆發(fā)中失去父母的孤兒現(xiàn)在極度饑餓，想自殺，甚至被迫進行性交易

Orphans who survived Ebola in Sierra Leone are starving to death amid harvest shortages and some are being forced into the sex industry to pay for food.

Researchers from British charity Street Child warn the situation will deteriorate if seeds are not distributed before the rains begin this month and planting becomes possible.

塞拉利昂埃博拉疫情爆發(fā)過后幸存下來的孤兒現(xiàn)在食物短缺饑餓難耐，一些兒童被迫從事性交易來換取食物。英國街頭兒童慈善機構(gòu)研究人員警告稱如果在本月雨季來臨之前沒有進行農(nóng)作物種子播種的話這一情況會更加惡劣。

The charity, which has already received distressing reports of children dying due to a lack of food in rural parts on the country, has estimated there to be 12,000 orphans, many of whom are now forced to look after themselves.

該慈善機構(gòu)已經(jīng)收到了關(guān)于貧困國家偏遠地區(qū)兒童因食物短缺死亡事件的報道，并估計會有12000名孤兒?，F(xiàn)在大多數(shù)孤兒只能靠自己照顧自己。

The charity has found that some children, rejected by their friends because of the stigma of Ebola, have tried to commit suicide, while girls are being forced into the sex industry to earn money to buy food.

慈善機構(gòu)發(fā)現(xiàn)一些孩子因為出現(xiàn)埃博拉病情癥狀受到朋友的冷落，所以試圖自殺，同時一些女生被迫從事性交易來賺錢買食物。

Research team leader John Pryor said: 'Many rural communities which were under quarantine due to Ebola have lost their harvests and the people are truly suffering.

研究團隊領(lǐng)導(dǎo)人John Pryor說，那些生活在因埃博拉疫情被隔離郊區(qū)沒有充足糧食的才是真正生活在痛苦中的人。

'As a result they have nothing to plant prior to the rainy season, which is traditionally known as the hunger season.

結(jié)果是他們在雨季來臨之前沒有任何農(nóng)作物可以種植，這個事實在這個饑荒的時節(jié)已經(jīng)成為眾所周知的事情。

Without a harvest, the most vulnerable will starve. This was the case for Ibrahim, 13, and Aminata, 10, in Kigbal in the rural Port Loko district.

沒有糧食最柔弱的人會被活活餓死。這也是生活在洛科港區(qū)偏遠的Kigbal村落的13歲的Ibrahim和10歲的Aminata的命運。

They lost both parents to the Ebola virus and were quarantined for two back-to-back periods of 21 days.

他們因為埃博拉疫情失去了父母，被連續(xù)隔離了42天之久。
