WHO Monitors Potential Radiation Risks Amid Middle East Tensions
世界衛生組織密切關注中東局勢緊張背景下的潛在輻射風險
As of mid-March 2026, the World Health Organization (WHO) and the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) are closely monitoring the Middle East for potential radiation risks.
截至2026年3月中旬，世界衛生組織（WHO）與國際原子能總署（IAEA）正密切監控中東地區，以防範潛在的輻射風險。
Currently, there is no evidence of radiation leakage; monitoring shows that levels remain within normal background limits.
目前尚無輻射外洩的跡象；監測顯示輻射數值維持在正常的背景值範圍內。
However, the IAEA has activated its Incident and Emergency Centre to ensure constant surveillance.
然而，國際原子能總署已啟動其事件與緊急應變中心，以確保持續的監控。
The primary concern lies in the potential damage to nuclear facilities, which are strictly protected under international law.
主要的擔憂在於核設施可能遭受損壞，這些設施在國際法下受到嚴格保護。
While no such sites have been hit, the WHO is actively preparing medical staff to respond to potential radiological emergencies.
儘管目前並無相關設施遭到攻擊，世界衛生組織正積極準備醫療人員以應對潛在的輻射緊急狀況。
The focus remains on a clear division of labor: the IAEA acts as the technical watchdog for physical safety, while the WHO concentrates on public health and humanitarian aid.
工作的核心在於明確的分工：國際原子能總署作為實體安全方面的技術監督機構，而世界衛生組織則專注於公共衛生與人道援助。
