Tens of thousands of people have fled（逃走，逃避） the conflict（冲突） in northern Yemen over the past five months. And, they continue to leave in large numbers. A spokeswoman for the International Committee of the Red Cross, Dorothea Krimitsas, says freezing（寒冷的，严寒的） temperatures are making the already dire（可悲的） situation of people fleeing（逃离） their homes even worse. "Our concern（担忧，忧虑） according to what we can witness（知道） there, because we are on the ground, we are present on the ground-harsh（恶劣的） weather conditions and winter conditions in northern Yemen are affecting the populations there, especially those fleeing who have absolutely（绝对地） no shelter（避难所; 遮蔽; 居所） and nothing and, sometimes no clothes. They have to flee just with what they have on them and leave. So, this is something that is making their condition much more difficult." Krimitsas says the risk of respiratory（呼吸的） infections（感染） is increasing, especially among children exposed（暴露） to the cold, the wind, and the rain. She says getting shelter for people living out in the cold is vital（重要的） as is access to food, water and health care. The Red Cross is unable to reach large parts of the conflict areas. Therefore, Krimitsas says it is difficult to know how many people are not receiving aid（救助）. "But, despite（尽管） these conditions, we continue to work in close cooperation（合作） with other organizations and especially together with the Yemeni Red Crescent Society. We continue to work and to maintain our aid effort. We have so far provided around 73,000 displaced people（难民） with water, food and other essential（重要的） items. We continue to run five camps." Krimitsas says the Red Cross also provides health care to the displaced and medical support, including supplies, to the Yemeni Red Crescent. She says the International Committee of the Red Cross is renewing（重申，重复强调） its appeal（呼吁） to all parties in the conflict to ensure the protection of civilians（平民） and to allow safe passage（通道） for humanitarian aid（人道主义援助）.
