伊朗下起“黑雨”！世衛組織警告

位于伊朗首都德黑蘭和厄爾布爾士省的4處儲油設施及一處石油產品轉運中心日前遭戰機襲擊，一時間火光沖天，黑煙升騰，當地更出現了罕見的“黑雨”天氣現象。德黑蘭居民反映出現呼吸困難。對此，世界衛生組織與聯合國9日相繼發出警告，指出此類襲擊正在引發嚴重的環境與健康危機。

The World Health Organization warned that the "black rain" and toxic compounds in the air in Iran after strikes on oil facilities could cause respiratory problems, and it backed Iran's advisory urging people to remain indoors.

The UN health agency, which has an office in Iran and works with authorities on health emergencies, said it has received multiple reports of oil-laden rain this week. Tehran was choked in black smoke on Monday after an oil refinery was hit, in an escalation ?in strikes on Iran's domestic energy supplies as part of the US-Israeli campaign.

世衛組織總干事譚德塞9日警告，伊朗部分地區的雨水中含有石油，不斷升級的沖突及其對公共衛生的影響令人非常擔憂。他在社交媒體上發文說：“伊朗石油設施受損，污染食物、水和空氣。這些危害可能對公眾健康產生嚴重影響，尤其對于兒童、老人和基礎疾病患者。”譚德塞呼吁，各方應立即緩和局勢，避免戰火危及民眾健康、殃及醫療系統。

World Health Organization chief Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus said in a statement on Monday that damage to Iranian petroleum facilities "risks contaminating food, water and air".

Those hazards "can have severe health impacts especially on children, older people, and people with pre-existing medical conditions", Tedros warned in a post on X. "Rain laden with oil has been reported falling in parts of the country."

聯合國秘書長古特雷斯的發言人迪雅里克在9日的新聞發布會上說，聯合國“尤其關切最近關于石油設施遭襲的大量報告，這些襲擊可能在整個地區造成嚴重的環境后果，并可能立即對飲用水、空氣、食品安全產生影響”。迪雅里克重申，必須采取一切措施保護平民及醫療機構、學校、用水系統等基礎設施免受戰火波及。

伊朗外交部發言人伊斯梅爾·巴加埃此前在社交媒體上發文說，襲擊儲油設施的行為“導致危險和有毒物質被釋放到空氣中，破壞環境，嚴重威脅生命安全”。

Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesman Esmaeil Baghaei said the large-scale attack marked a "dangerous new phase" of the conflict and amounted to a war crime.

"By targeting fuel depots, the aggressors are releasing hazardous materials and toxic substances into the air, poisoning civilians, devastating the environment, and endangering lives on a massive scale," he wrote on X.
