The United Nations has been approved to provide resources to a Syrian town where most residents are reportedly eating leaves and grass to survive.
聯合國已批準向敘利亞一城鎮提供資源，據報道那里大多數居民都在吃樹葉和青草維持生存。
As many as 42,000 civilians are suffering in Madaya as the town endures a monthslong siege by pro-government forces. The Syrian regime says this is due to rebels in the town.
多達42,000名敘利亞人在Madaya鎮遭受苦難，此處遭到親政府部隊數月圍攻。敘利亞政權稱是因為這個鎮上的反叛者。
The food available doesn't come cheap. For example, a 2-pound bag of baby formula is said to cost about 300 dollars. An almost equal bag of crushed wheat costs just a bit less at 250dollars.
可獲得的食物并不便宜。例如，一袋2磅的嬰幼兒配方奶粉需要近300美元。一袋幾乎相等的全麥粗粉比250美元少一點點。
The U.N. estimates 4.5 million Syrians live in resource-scarce areas. About 400,000 live in 15 other besieged towns like Madaya, and it can be hard for organizations to safely provide help.
聯合國估計有450萬人生活在資源匱乏的地區。400,000生活在其它15個像Madays一樣被圍困的城鎮。組織很難安全的提供幫助。
To make matters worse for residents, Madaya is reportedly surrounded by land mines. Those who try and scavenge for food outside the city risk being maimed or killed.
使事情更糟的是，據稱Madaya被地雷包圍著。那些試圖在城市之外尋找食物的人會冒著致殘或殺害的風險。
There've been demonstrations in other parts of Syria to show solidarity for the besieged people of Madaya.
目前敘利亞其它地方舉行游行示威表示與Madaya被困人民團結在一起。
