To Whom It May Concern,

We, Oromo refugees, would like to kindly inform you that, as you have seen and heard, the serious brutal situation in Yemen at the moment with the fighting destroying homes, and killing and injuring civilians; the death toll is rising.

Refugees are under dire situations: the old, the children and the infants, the patients are left home hopelessly and helplessly because breadwinners are suspended from their jobs; there also exists high inflation on food items, etc.

We, therefore, kindly request you to plea to UNHCR for our protection and rights.

Please see the crowded refugees, those displaced from their homes, at the gate of UNHCR on the attached pictures for the evidence.

Thank you for your attention.
