The United Nations has been approved to provide resources to a Syrian town where most residents are reportedly eating leaves and grass to survive.
联合国已批准向叙利亚一城镇提供资源，据报道那里大多数居民都在吃树叶和青草维持生存。
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.
多达42,000名叙利亚人在Madaya镇遭受苦难，此处遭到亲政府部队数月围攻。叙利亚政权称是因为这个镇上的反叛者。
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.
可获得的食物并不便宜。例如，一袋2磅的婴幼儿配方奶粉需要近300美元。一袋几乎相等的全麦粗粉比250美元少一点点。
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.
联合国估计有450万人生活在资源匮乏的地区。400,000生活在其它15个像Madays一样被围困的城镇。组织很难安全的提供帮助。
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，据称Madaya被地雷包围着。那些试图在城市之外寻找食物的人会冒着致残或杀害的风险。
There've been demonstrations in other parts of Syria to show solidarity for the besieged people of Madaya.
目前叙利亚其它地方举行游行示威表示与Madaya被困人民团结在一起。
