Naʻe mahuʻinga fau ʻa e fie maʻú.

ʻI he konga kimuʻa ʻo e 2013, naʻe puke ai ha toko nima ʻi he nofoʻanga hūfanga Saʻatalí (Zaʻatari) ʻi he Hahake Lotolotó ʻi he fonua ko Soataní ʻi he mīselé. Naʻe tuʻu fakatuʻutāmaki ki ha kau kumi hūfanga Sīlia ʻe 100,000 tupu ne lolotonga nofo ʻi ha ngaahi tūkunga tokolahi fau, ke nau puke ʻi he vailasi pipihi ngofua mo fakatuʻutāmakí. Naʻe palani ʻe he puleʻanga Soataní ha polokalama huhu maluʻi lahi ke taʻofi e mahakí mei heʻene mafolá. Ko e palaní ke huhu maluʻi ha kau kumi hūfanga Sīlia ʻe toko 90,000 ʻoku ʻi he taʻu motuʻa ʻi he vahaʻa ʻo e māhina ʻe 6 mo e taʻu 30, ʻi ha uike pē ʻe ua.

Ka naʻe ʻi ai ha palopalema. Ko e faitoʻó (serum) ia naʻe ʻi he Kautaha ki he Meʻa Fakatuʻupakē maʻá e Fānaú ʻa e Puleʻanga Fakatahatahá (UNICEF). Naʻe maʻu ʻe he Potungāue Moʻui ʻa Soataní ʻa e ngaahi falemahakí. Ko e meʻa naʻe ʻikai ke nau maʻú ko e ngaahi meʻa mokomoko ke tufaki ai ʻa e ngaahi meʻá—ʻa e ngaahi meʻahuhú, meʻa ke faʻo ai ʻa e ngaahi meʻangāue ʻoku māsilá, ʻaiʻanga fakamokomoko ʻo e faitoʻó—pea siʻi e taimí.1

Pea hū mai leva ʻa Loni mo Senitī Hāmoni, ko e ongo faifekau uelofea hoa mali, naʻá na hoko ko e ongo talēkita fakafonua ʻo e Ngaahi Kautaha Tokoni ʻOfa ʻa e Siasí (LDS Charities) ʻi Soataní. Koeʻuhí ne ʻosi fengāueʻaki ʻa Loni mo Senitī mo e UNICEF pea mo e Potungāue Moʻuí, naʻe vave ʻena kau atu ki he fengāueʻaki ʻa e ongo kautahá ni ke fakapapauʻi pe ʻe founga fēfē ha tokoni ʻa e Ngaahi Kautaha Tokoni ʻOfa ʻa e Siasí.

ʻOku pehē ʻe Loni, “Naʻá ma fakaʻekeʻeke fekauʻaki mo e mahuʻinga hono fakatau ʻo e ngaahi meʻa fakamokomokó. Ko e taimi naʻa nau fakahoko mai aí, naʻá ma talaange, ‘ʻOkú ma tui ʻe lava e Ngaahi Kautaha Tokoni ʻOfa ʻa e Siasí ʻo tokoni.’ Naʻa nau ʻeke mai, ʻKo e hā hono vavé?

ʻI ha houa pē ʻe 20, ne tali ʻe he Ngaahi Kautaha Tokoni ʻOfa ʻa e Siasí ke fakatau ʻa e ngaahi nāunau fakamokomoko ne fie maʻú. ʻOku pehē ʻe Loni, “Ko e taimi naʻá ma fakahoko ai ki he Potungāue Moʻuí mo e UNICEF, naʻa nau moʻutāfuʻua. ʻOku lava fēfē ha kautaha NGO [ʻikai ko ha kautaha ʻa e puleʻangá] ʻo ngāue vave pehē?

ʻI he 2012, ne ngāue ai ʻa e ongomātuʻa Hāmoní ko ha ongo ngāue ouau ʻi he Temipale Lekisipeki ʻAitahoó.

Naʻe toki ʻilo kimui, naʻe ʻaukai mo lotu ʻa e kau taki lakanga fakataulaʻeiki ʻo e Siasí ʻi he hetikuotá ke maʻu ha ongomātuʻa ke na hoko ko ha ongo talēkita fakafonua ʻo e Ngaahi Kautaha Tokoni ʻOfa ʻa e Siasí ʻi ʻĀmaní, ʻi Soatani.

ʻOku pehē ʻe Senitī, “Naʻe mātuʻaki mahino naʻe muʻomuʻa ʻa e ʻEikí ʻiate kimaua, ʻo teuteu ʻa e ngaahi fakaikiiki ʻo e ngāue naʻá Ne teu maʻa kimauá. ʻOkú ma ʻilo ʻokú Ne fai ʻeni ki he faifekau kotoa pē ʻoku ngāue. ʻOku fakafiemālie ʻete ʻiloʻi ʻoku fokotuʻutuʻu ʻe he Fakamoʻuí ʻa e ngaahi meʻá maʻau kimuʻa peá ke toki tūʻuta atú.

Naʻe ʻilo ʻe he ongomātuʻa Hāmoní ʻi heʻena ʻi Soataní hono moʻoni ʻo e talaʻofa ʻa e ʻEikí kiate kinautolu ʻoku nau tokoni kiate Iá: “Te u muʻomuʻa ʻi homou ʻaó.

ʻOku pehē ʻe Loni, “ʻOku kau ʻa e ʻOtuá ʻi he ngāué.” “ʻOkú Ne ʻi he loto ngoue vainé mo ʻEne kau tamaioʻeikí. Ka ai ha ongomātuʻa ʻokú na ō ʻo ngāue fakafaifekau, ʻoku kau atu ʻa e ʻEiki ʻo e ngoue vainé mo kinaua ʻi he ngoue vainé. ʻOku ʻikai ke ma tui ki he maná ʻi Soatani; naʻe hoko ia kiate kimaua.”
