中新网布鲁塞尔7月30日电 (记者 德永健) 在孟加拉国、印度和菲律宾近期遭受洪水袭击后，欧盟于7月30日宣布提供240万欧元援助，帮助三国受灾民众渡过难关。
据欧盟委员会当日发布的公告，欧盟将向孟加拉国和印度提供120万欧元援助，向菲律宾提供120万欧元援助，用于帮助洪灾重灾区的民众，具体包括发放赈灾款及提供食品、净水、卫生设施等。
公告指出，孟加拉国自今年5月遭受热带气旋“雷马尔”等灾害性天气影响后，已有近三分之一的地区发生洪灾。为此，欧盟决定在已提供3000余万欧元援助的基础上，再向孟加拉国追加援助。在菲律宾，受台风“格美”“派比安”和西南季风叠加影响，菲律宾南部棉兰老岛的洪灾进一步恶化，欧盟决定在已提供310万欧元援助的基础上，再向棉兰老岛提供120万欧元援助。
欧盟委员会负责危机管理的委员莱纳尔契奇在公告中表示，进入今年的季风雨季后，孟加拉国、印度和菲律宾民众面临严峻考验。欧盟希望通过加大援助力度，满足当地受灾民众最紧迫的需求。
孟加拉国、印度等南亚国家，每年6月至9月是季风雨季，受雷雨天气影响，洪水、泥石流、山体滑坡等灾害时有发生。菲律宾位于西太平洋台风带，平均每年遭受20场台风或热带风暴侵袭。
此次欧盟提供的援助将有助于受灾地区恢复社会经济秩序，减少灾害对当地居民生活的影响。同时，欧盟的援助行动也彰显了国际社会对受灾民众的关心和支持。

EU Provides €2.4 Million in Aid to Bangladesh, India, and the Philippines for Flood Relief

BEIJING, July 30 (Xinhua) — The European Union (EU) announced on July 30 that it would provide 2.4 million euros in aid to help the people of Bangladesh, India, and the Philippines overcome recent floods.
According to a statement released by the European Commission on the same day, the EU will allocate 1.2 million euros to Bangladesh and India, and another 1.2 million euros to the Philippines to assist affected populations. The funds will be used to provide disaster relief, food, clean water, and sanitation facilities for communities severely hit by the floods.
The statement noted that since May, when Bangladesh was hit by a tropical cyclone and other severe weather events, nearly a third of the country has been affected by flooding. In response, the EU has decided to provide additional aid to Bangladesh, on top of the more than 30 million euros already offered. In the Philippines, the combination of typhoons “Goni” and “Pabuk,” along with southwest monsoon rains, has worsened flooding in the southern part of Mindanao Island. The EU has also decided to provide an additional 1.2 million euros in aid to Mindanao, on top of the 3.1 million euros already given.
Commissioner Janez Lenarčič, responsible for crisis management, stated in the announcement that as the rainy season began this year, the people of Bangladesh, India, and the Philippines faced a severe test. The EU aims to meet the urgent needs of the affected populations by increasing its aid.
The countries in South Asia, including Bangladesh and India, experience the monsoon season from June to September, during which heavy rainfall, floods, landslides, and mudslides are common. The Philippines, located in the western Pacific typhoon belt, typically faces 20 typhoons or tropical storms annually.
The EU’s aid will help the affected areas recover their social and economic order and reduce the impact of the disasters on the lives of local residents. This action also demonstrates the international community’s concern and support for the affected populations.
