Angelina Jolie wanted to make an important reminder in this turbulent period.
"Everyone deserves the same compassion", writes on Instagram the special envoy of the Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees in the caption of a video where we can see her meeting families displaced by the conflict in Yemen.
For the star, while it is obviously important to be worried about the situation of the Ukrainian population after the Russian invasion, we must not forget the other conflicts in the world, which ruin lives and last, as is the case here for many years.
“This week, one 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 what rights we defend.
Everyone deserves the same compassion.
The lives of civilian victims of conflict, wherever they are, have the same value.
After seven years of war, the people of Yemen also need protection, support and, above all, peace,” writes Angelina Jolie.
Worst humanitarian crisis
In her text, Angelina Jolie explains how critical the situation is for displaced families from Yemen.
“The situation here is one of the worst humanitarian crises in the world, with one civilian killed or injured every hour in 2022. A war-torn economy, and more than 20 million Yemenis who depend on humanitarian aid to survive “, she explains.
The actress has arrived in Aden (the country's capital since the start of the civil war in 2015), and will spend the next few days highlighting the consequences of this war.
“I will do my best to communicate from the field as the days go by,” the superstar promised.
