Millions of Iraqis Living on the Edge (1/2)
大意
Red Cross are aiming to help the poor people in Iraq.
听写
The United Nations estimates up to 6 million people in Iraq are in dyer dire need of help, because of years of violence and economic hardship. It says some 4 million people are unable to buy enough food regularly, have no accesses to safe drinking water and have great difficulty getting the medical care they need. The International Red Cross Federation is aiming to help nearly 1 million of what it calls the most socially vulnerable people inside Iraq over the next year. Operation’s coordinator for the Middle East and North Africa Linda Stops tells VOA these’re people who have generally been overlooked by social welfare and aid programs, these’re people who have no or very little income and cannot make it on their own. “They’re in their homes, they’re not displaced, but they’re poor, they may be unemployed, don’t have jobs. They maybe elderly, they maybe handicapped, they qualent fall intoto a lot of calibratescategories, but they don’t fit into some of the other standard kandigrads categories that we see with a rackin Iraq such as internally displaced, you know, being taken to or moving to a different place because of violence or insecurity within the country.” 生词
dire迫切的，极端的。 翻译
联合国估计超过600万伊拉克人民由于战乱和经济不景气而迫切需要帮助。据称，400万人逐渐不能购买足够的食物，无法引用安全的淡水，并很难得到相应的医疗。国际红十字联盟计划帮助大约100万“明年伊拉克境内的社会最弱势群体”。中东和北非计划负责人LS告诉VOA这些人大多被社会福利和援助项目忽略了，他们没有或仅有很少的收入，不能养活自己。“他们在自己的家里，没有被遣散，但他们很贫穷，没有工作，年纪很大或身有残疾。他们属于很多援助类别，但不符合那些被遣散的困难标准，也就是那些因为国内战乱和危险而被带去另一个地方的人。”
总结认识的单词也会听不出来……很多时候，YY会发挥神奇的功效~~
