Covid-19 situation in India 'beyond heartbreaking': WHO chief

世卫组织总干事：印度疫情“令人心碎”

GENEVA: The World Health Organization chief voiced alarm Monday at India's record-breaking wave of Covid-19 cases and deaths, saying the organisation was rushing to help address the crisis.

日内瓦：周一，世界卫生组织总干事对印度创纪录的确诊病例和死亡病例发出警告，称该组织正努力帮助解决这场危机。

"The situation in India is beyond heartbreaking," Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus told reporters.

谭德塞告诉记者:“印度的形势令人心碎。”

He spoke as India battles a catastrophic coronavirus wave that has overwhelmed hospitals, with crematoriums working at full capacity.

他说这番话时，印度正在抗击当前这波灾难性的疫情，这场疫情已使医院不堪重负，火葬场满负荷运转。

A surge in recent days has seen patients' families taking to social media to beg for oxygen supplies and locations of available hospital beds, and has forced the capital New Delhi to extend a week-long lockdown.

最近几天，患者人数激增，家属在社交媒体上请求提供氧气和医院床位，这迫使印度首都新德里延长了为期一周的封锁。

"WHO is doing everything we can, providing critical equipment and supplies," Tedros said.

谭德塞说:“世卫组织正在竭尽所能提供关键设备和物资。”

He said the UN health agency was among other things sending "thousands of oxygen concentrators, prefabricated mobile field hospitals and laboratory supplies".

他表示，联合国卫生机构正在运送“数千台制氧机、预制流动医院和实验室用品”。

The WHO also said it had transferred more than 2,600 of its experts from various programmes, including polio and tuberculosis, to work with Indian health authorities to help respond to the pandemic.

世卫组织还表示，已从包括小儿麻痹症和结核病在内的多个项目中调出2600多名专家，与印度卫生当局合作，帮助应对这场大流行。

The country of 1.3 billion has become the latest hotspot of a pandemic that has killed more than three million people worldwide, even as richer countries take steps towards normality with accelerating vaccination programmes.

这个拥有13亿人口的国家已经成为疫情的最新热点，这种流行病已经导致全球300多万人死亡，而与此同时，富裕国家正在采取措施，加快疫苗接种计划，以恢复正常。

Well Mr. Tedros, this is a lesson to all, when we elect based on religion and put importance to statues and temples over infrastructure, jobs, healthcare and education - this is what happens.

谭德塞先生，这对所有人来说都是一个教训。我们忙着举行选举，把雕像和寺庙置于基础设施、就业、医疗和教育之上时，这就是后果。
