【VOA慢速】联合国:暴力侵害海地学校

Schools in Haiti are operating without enough chairs, blackboards, and even bathrooms.

海地的学校没有足够的椅子、黑板和厕所。

Violent criminal groups limit basic government services and deepen poverty while the state education system faces a 23 million dollars deficit.

暴力犯罪集团限制了基本的政府服务，加剧了贫困，而国家教育系统面临着2300万美元的赤字。

Yasmine Sherif is the executive director of the U.N. organization Education Cannot Wait.

雅思敏·谢里夫是联合国组织“教育不能等待”的执行主任。

"The country needs help," Sherif said during her three-day visit to the Caribbean country in July.

“这个国家需要帮助，”谢里夫在7月对这个加勒比海国家进行为期三天的访问时说。

Sherif said the organization provided 2.5 million dollars to help nearly 75,000 children in Haiti with money, food and other programs.

谢里夫表示，该组织提供了250万美元，通过资金、食物和其他项目帮助海地近7.5万名儿童。

And she asked the European Union and other countries, including France and the U.S., to help close the educational deficit.

她要求欧盟和包括法国和美国在内的其他国家帮助缩小教育赤字。

"My main concern is security," she said, noting the effect that violence has had on education.

Criminal groups, called gangs, killed or injured more than 2,500 people in the first three months of the year.

Violence has seriously affected life in the capital, Port-au-Prince, and elsewhere.

暴力严重影响了首都太子港和其他地方的生活。

At least 919 schools remain closed in Port-au-Prince and in the central area of Artibonite because of gang violence.

由于帮派暴力，太子港和阿蒂博尼特中部地区至少有919所学校仍然关闭。

The U.N. says that school closures have affected more than 150,000 students.

联合国表示，学校关闭影响了15万多名学生。

"Education is part of the solution," Sherif said.

“教育是解决方案的一部分，”谢里夫说。

"That would end extreme poverty, extreme violence and create political stability and create a reliable workforce."

“这将结束极端贫困、极端暴力，创造政治稳定并创造可靠的劳动力。"

Gang violence also has left some 580,000 people homeless across Haiti, with many crowding into temporary shelters or taking over schools, causing them to close.

帮派暴力还使海地各地约58万人无家可归，许多人挤进临时避难所或占领学校，导致学校关闭。

Schools that remain open are increasingly forced to take students from others that have closed.

仍然开放的学校越来越被迫从其他已经关闭的学校那里招收学生。

The Jean Marie Vincent School in central Port-au-Prince, for example, has accepted students from 12 other schools.

例如，太子港市中心的让·玛丽·文森特学校就招收了来自其他12所学校的学生。

He said, "We're not the only ones" facing such serious problems.

他说，“我们不是唯一面临如此严重问题的人”。

Luckerno said that when classes end for the day, people left homeless by gang violence enter the school and sleep on its ground.

卢克诺说，当天下课时，因帮派暴力而无家可归的人就会进入学校并睡在地上。

Although that creates health problems, Luckerno still lets them stay.

尽管这会带来健康问题，但卢克诺仍然让他们留下来。

He said, "We are human. We cannot throw them out."

他说:“我们都是人。我们不能把它们扔出去。”

Private schools are out of reach for many in Haiti, a country of more than 11 million people.
