摩洛哥:领救济食品酿悲剧 踩踏致15人死亡

At least 15 people have been killed and five others wounded in a stampede in Morocco while food aid was distributed.The incident occurred in the town of Sidi Boulaalam in Essaouira province.

据英国广播公司（BBC）网站11月20日消息，摩洛哥在发放食品援助时发生踩踏事故，目前已造成至少15人死亡和5人受伤。据悉，事件发生在索维拉省的西迪布拉拉姆镇。

The aid was being handed out by a private local charity.Some reports indicate that up to 40 people were injured in the crush. Local media reported that most of the victims were women and elderly people.Pictures on social media showed bodies of women laid out on the ground.

当地一家私人慈善机构负责发放食品援助。有报道称，有40余人在拥挤的人群中受伤。据当地媒体报道，大多数受害者是妇女和老人。社交媒体上的照片显示，案发地点有躺着一些女性尸体。

Witnesses told local media that this year's annual food aid distribution at a local market in Sidi Boulaalam, an impoverished town with just over 8,000 inhabitants, attracted a larger crowd than usual.

有目击者向当地媒体表示，今年的年度食品援助发放位置位于西迪布拉拉姆镇，但蜂拥而至的人群却多于往常。西迪布拉拉姆是一个贫困的村镇，只拥有8000多名居民。

"This year there were lots of people, several hundred people," a witness who asked to remain anonymous told AFP news agency."People shoved, they broke down the barriers," he said, adding that the injured had been evacuated to a hospital in Marrakesh.

一名要求匿名的目击者向法新社表示：“今年有很多人，可能数百人。人群推推攘攘，突破了障碍物。”他还补充说，伤者已被撤出到马拉喀什的一家医院。

Morocco's interior ministry said that King Muhammed VI had instructed the local authorities to help those affected, adding that he would personally cover all medical and funeral costs.

摩洛哥内政部声称，国王穆罕默德六世已责成地政府帮助受害民众，并补充说受害民众的所有医疗丧葬费用将由国王本人承担。

An unverified video shot by a bystander before the incident showed a large crowd gathered at the open-air market, waiting for the food distribution.It is not clear what triggered the stampede, and an investigation is now under way.

一则由路人在案发前拍摄的未经证实的视频显示，一大群人聚集在这个露天市场，等待食品援助的发放。目前，踩踏事件的起因尚不清楚，案件仍在调查中。（译：Snowflake/张源/小猛/李二牛）
