When Jade Thirlwall met 17-year-old Somaya from Yemen

A must-watch heart-warming conversation between Little Mix star and UNICEF UK supporter, Jade Thirlwall and 17-year-old Somaya from Yemen. As Jade shares stories of her Grandfather and Yemeni heritage, Somaya shares her experience of life in Yemen during conflict, and now a pandemic. The two also uncover some shared interests! Although Jade and Somaya’s conversation happened virtually, and their day-to-day experiences are very different; it’s conversations like this, that make us realise there’s more that connects us, than divides us 💙 Yemen remains the largest crisis in the world. The spread of COVID-19 means the country is now facing a further emergency. UNICEF on the ground working around the clock to protect children in Yemen, preserve their future and help them cope with the long-term impact of the conflict. Thank you to Jade for shining a light on the situation in Yemen, and of course, a huge thank you to Somaya, for sharing her experiences, hopes and dreams 💙 ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- We are the UK Committee for UNICEF (UNICEF UK), a charity entirely funded by supporters, raising funds for UNICEF’s work for children globally 🌍💙 We also promote and protect children’s rights in the UK and internationally ✊📣 Make a donation and find out about Unicef at http://www.unicef.org.uk - thank you!
