Natalie Carney's 2018 series "Inside Yemen", provides you with a heartbreaking view inside one of the
world's worst humanitarian crisis in documented history.
Yemen Civil War
The refugee crisis of 2015–2016 saw over a million people, mainly from Syria, Afghanistan, and Iraq, flee war, persecution, and instability and seek safety in Europe.
Many traveled dangerous routes across the Mediterranean Sea or through the Balkans, risking their lives to escape conflict. The sudden arrival of large numbers of refugees strained asylum systems and sparked intense political debates within the European Union.
Natalie Carney followed their journey in a number of harrowing reports.
