@jnbeuze: “What is really tragic in Yemen is the displacement of the Yemeni by the conflict and that without funding....people are really in a desperate situation. We fear in the coming weeks the death toll will increase.”

@jnbeuze: "Imagine, if your country had 8/10 people that relied on external aid for their daily survival. Without the humanitarian partners, without UNHCR, 8 out of 10 people in Yemen will not be able to feed their children, their elderly parents. The number is astounding.”

Astrid van Genderen Stort from @Refugees: "One of the great things has been the inter-connectedness and the solidarity around the world... Self isolating and looking at how we can take care of our loved ones - we have seen an enormous support for refugees around the world.”
