Donors at a United Nations-backed event on Wednesday announced 2.4 billion U.S. dollars to provide life-saving and life-sustaining assistance for nearly 32 million people across Ethiopia, Kenya and Somalia.

Famine has been averted, thanks in part to the tremendous efforts of local communities, humanitarian organizations and authorities, as well as the support of donors. In the face of five consecutive poor rainy seasons, more than 30 million people received assistance in Ethiopia, Kenya and Somalia, according to a press release.
饥荒得以避免，在一定程度上要归功于当地社区、人道主义组织和当局的巨大努力以及捐助者的支持。据一份新闻稿称，面对连续5年的干旱雨季，埃塞俄比亚、肯尼亚和索马里有3000多万人获得了援助。
But the emergency is far from over, and additional resources are urgently required to prevent a return to the worst-case scenario.
但紧急情况远未结束，迫切需要额外的资源，以防止最坏的情况再次出现。
The humanitarian community requires 7 billion dollars for humanitarian response and protection for drought- and conflict-affected people in the region in 2023.
到2023年，人道主义机构需要70亿美元用于人道主义应对和保护该地区受干旱和冲突影响的人民。

We welcome the announcements of support for the people of the Horn of Africa, who need our sustained commitment to recover from a crisis of catastrophic proportions, said Joyce Msuya, assistant secretary-general for humanitarian affairs and deputy emergency relief coordinator. "We must persist in pushing for stepped-up investments, especially to bolster the resilience of people already bearing the brunt of climate change."
负责人道主义事务的助理秘书长兼紧急救援副协调员乔伊斯·姆苏亚(Joyce Msuya)说:“我们欢迎宣布支持非洲之角人民，他们需要我们的持续承诺，才能从灾难性的危机中恢复过来。”“我们必须坚持推动加大投资，特别是加强已经承受气候变化冲击的人们的抵御能力。”
The Horn of Africa is the epicenter of one of the world's worst climate emergencies. An estimated 43,000 people died in 2022 in Somalia, most likely due to the drought, half of whom may have been children under age five. Millions remain displaced because of drought as well as conflict, the release said.
非洲之角是世界上最严重的气候紧急情况之一的震中。据估计，2022年索马里有4.3万人死亡，很可能是干旱造成的，其中一半可能是5岁以下的儿童。由于干旱和冲突，数百万人仍然流离失所。
