en-us	“We’re worried about their lack of access to water and hygiene services.

en-us	As you know, washing hands with soap is critical in the fight against COVID-19.

zh-cn	更糟糕的是，16%（约占全球六分之一）的医疗机构中，其提供医疗服务的场所都没有可供正常使用的厕所或洗手设施。

zh-cn	学校的关闭不仅影响到学生的学习，还影响到他们在学校接受到的营养、卫生保健和清洁用水等服务，也限制了他们从学校获得真实准确的信息。

zh-cn	这就是为什么联合国儿童基金会正与世界多国的教育部合作，寻找替代性的教育方式为儿童继续提供教育，包括利用网络和广播电视渠道开展远程教学等。

zh-cn	例如，2014年至2016年西非埃博拉疫情下的学校关闭，导致童工、忽视、性侵儿童和少女怀孕等现象激增。 

en-us	“We’re worried about their access to basic health services, including immunization and the treatment of childhood diseases.
