@NRC_Norway #Yemen Country Director Mohamed Abdi “The coronavirus pandemic has accelerated the misery of the poorest nation in the region, with more families already in poverty earning even less and facing more hunger" - @NRC_Norway #Yemen Country Director Mohamed Abdi Even before #Covid19, #Yemen was the site of the largest food crisis in the world. A concerted aid effort pulled the country back from the brink of famine last year, but it now risks sliding back. A staggering 94% of families reported food as a top concern and almost half of respondents said they lost at least half of their income, just as prices for food and water also went up in #Yemen Our latest survey from #Yemen finds that one in every four vulnerable families have lost all income and half have seen their incomes drop by over 50% since #Covid19 hit the country, accelerating a #hunger crisis |

We were late with rent so my landlord threatened to #evict us," says Randa, a #Syria'n #refugee in the Bekaa Valley. https://t.co/WledjoJVX0 In #Lebanon, 90% of #Syria’n #refugees live in shelters they pay rent for but only 5% have written agreements with the landlord.
