This weekend, Angelina Jolie arrived in Yemen to do her best to help out. There are many refugees from Ukraine there right now and she feels that it is her duty to help them out as much as she can. She arrived on Sunday in Aden and she is working with the United Nations Refugee Agency.
Angelina Jolie Helps in Yemen
Jolie told her fans, “I’ve landed in Aden, to meet displaced families and refugees for UNHCR and show my support for the people of Yemen. I will do my best to communicate from the ground as the days unfold. As we continue to watch the horrors unfolding in Ukraine, and call for an immediate end to the conflict and humanitarian access, I’m here in Yemen to support people who also desperately need peace. The situation here is one of the worst humanitarian crises in the world, with one civilian killed or injured every hour in 2022. An economy devastated by war, and over 20 million Yemenis depending on humanitarian assistance to survive.”
This is not the first time that Jolie has been in Yemen. She has spent a lot of time and effort with humanitarian groups that help them as well. She is urging others to use their own compassion and do what they can to help. She knows that not all people have the means to go to Yemen, but she has given all that she can to them.
She added, “This week a million people were forced to flee the horrific war in Ukraine. If we learn anything from this shocking situation, it is that we cannot be selective about who deserves support and whose rights we defend. Everyone deserves the same compassion. The lives of civilian victims of conflict everywhere are of equal value. After seven years of war, the people of Yemen also need protection, support, and above all, peace.”
The Russian attack on Ukraine is terrible and the world is watching this unfold right before our eyes. This is the first land conflict that has happened in Europe in years and it has terrified the people of Ukraine and Russia. We commend Jolie for taking her time and energy to help out where she can. There are many women and children who need help right now and we will keep them all in our thoughts. We hope that this conflict can end soon and no more people will be injured.
