ABOUT THIS EPISODE

An Intercontinental Refugee Crisis is Unfolding Between the Middle East and Africa

Our hearts go out to the Yemeni civilians who have been displaced after a decade of war.

In this episode, we're shining a light on the growing humanitarian crisis on both sides of Gulf of Aden. To really understand what is happening in Yemen, you also have to look at the ongoing refugee crisis that is too big to no longer be ignored. The impact of the Houthis siezing more terrain and control of Yemen will spillover into an entire region that is currently on edge, and critically, doesn't have the resources to potentially aid thousands (or more) of Yemeni refugees showing up at their doorstep. (And hot flash, the UN doesn't either).

All the best from both of us,

Dave and Gav
