"It is a tidal wave of children who have lost one or more of their parents," Carol Bellamy, the executive director of the United Nations children's agency Unicef, told the 15th International Aids Conference held in Bangkok. “15 million globally, close to 12 million in sub-Saharan Africa alone. The orphan crisis is arguably the cruellest legacy of this pandemic and the worst could still be to come," she added. “Far too many will die."“像我们这样的人很多，但我们是幸运的，真的很幸运。”她补充道，微笑着瞥了一眼几英尺外的69岁的祖母：“我们有人照顾，而且没有被(艾滋病毒)感染。”7月13日，联合国发布的一份报告说，全球范围内，艾滋病使1500万孩子成为孤儿或单亲儿童，而且这个数字将在今后十年内上升到1840万。其中绝大多数孩子在非洲。
