　取り残されたままである、と。

BBC Over 74,000 children trapped in Timbuktu - NGO 28 Nov 2023

　まあ何が問題かって、流通がほぼ止まって久しいので、そもそも食料が足りない。13万6千ほどが残存しているようだけど、この人数を食わせるのは大変そう。そして医療品も足りなくなっていく。何しろ仮にも紛争地帯。けが人は出る。巻き添えになったりなんだりで怪我したり爆弾で手足を吹っ飛ばされたり―対応しようがなくなっていkう。

「More than 136,000 people, including an estimated 74,000 children are trapped in the historic northern Mali city of Timbuktu, the NGO Save the Children has said.

The NGO on Monday also warned that the trapped are running out of essential items like food and medicine as armed groups block their entry into the city.

"With official aid routes completely cut off, supplies are dwindling and the agency fears the remaining services in the city may need to end soon if a resolution of the crisis isn’t found," the NGO said in a statement.

The NGO also said that it has received reports of children being maimed or killed by explosive devices, while others are recruited by armed groups.」

　…生きていけないとなったら、そりゃあ徴兵・徴募に応じる子供も出てくるだろう―というわけだ。
　…まあ、そりゃあ並みの紛争地帯ですねといえばその通りだけど。
