Mohammed and Amal first fled Yemen in 2015. They were living in the capital when it was taken by Houthi rebels, and when the bombs of the Saudi-led, pro-regime coalition began to fall they took off on foot.
By the time they reached family in a neighbouring province, Amal, who was pregnant, was covered in blood. She survived, but they lost the baby. They decided they had to leave Yemen.
“Jordan was the only country that would accept us,” said Mohammed. “We were allowed in on a tourist visa, so we came and stayed for eight months. Then we were told the war had ended, so we went back to Yemen.”
