Monarelief's ground crew carried out a new mission of helping most vulnerable families in Yemen. Our project this time was in Hodeidah in western Yemen, where there is 100000s families living under the poverty line and they can't find any resource to feed their families.
Our project to feed 500 families with urgent food aid was funded by Ikhwan Thabet Company in Hodeidah governorate.
Our mission this time wasn't easy but it was very hard, due to the complicated situation in the governorate and we spent almost a day trying to find a place to gather beneficiaries in and in order to be able to deliver them the food supply, but no one allowed us do so.
Finally, we resorted to choosing the area of the culture center which was hit this year by Saudi jets, destroying the whole center, forcing all employees there to lose their job.
During our food delivery, we heard several stories which they are reflecting the suffer of most families in the city. Our food supply delivered to families from al-Haly, Al-Hawak and al-Mayna'a districts of Hodeidah. Our volunteers work hard to find these 500 families within the 3 districts of Hodeidah.

Some stories we heard during the distribution process in Hodeidah.
People's needs are high comparing to what we are delivering. if we reached out 500 families with food supply but there is many others couldn't be reached out because our capability is limited and the needs are high in Hodeidah in western Yemen.
"If I have enough food in my home. I won't be here," she says. Most food aid delivered by Int'l NGOs didn't reach out the most needy families. Most people I met during @monarelief's last distribution in Hodeidah complaining and repeating the same.
Another woman told her story.
"I have got this bread from many places today," showing me her bag.
Believe me my son if I have anything inside my home to feed my 9-member family, I won't be now here in front of you begging u 2 help me.'' We are not able to continue. she says Hodeidah.
Once before happened in front of me and today the same thing has repeated again. People in Hodeidah in western #Yemen are hungry and they are fighting each other to get food. That is unfortunately, is completely true but could hear their voice.
The story of people in Hodeidah saying that there is many and many families who they don't have any idea how to get food to feed their children, I have seen many people begging to just get anything from the others. #Yemen

This is my son taking pictures of himself. This photo captures his vulnerability,and his desire to be loved. There is also fear in his eyes.
But you were most beautiful
when I saw all of you.
Your scars and secrets.

Red Godwit, Small Curlew
Status: Winter visitor from Iceland. Numbers remain high throughout the winter, especially September.
Conservation Concern: Amber-listed in Ireland as the majority of Black-tailed Godwits winter at less than ten sites. The European population is considered to be Vulnerable, due to past and present declines in key populations, such as the Netherlands and Russia.
Identification: Very similar in size and shape to Bar-tailed Godwit, but the slightly longer, straighter bill, neck and legs give it a more elegant appearance. Winter plumage is a similar greyish brown to Bar-tailed, but generally plainer, with less dark-centred feathers, especially on the wings. In flight, the similarities between the godwits disappears - Black-tailed shows a striking contrasty upperwing - mostly black with bold white wingbars, a square white rump and a black tail (Bar-tailed has quite uniform brown wings and a long white rump which extends well up the back forming a white wedge). Summer plumaged or moulting birds often occur, showing varying amounts of rich orange. Typically wades in shallow water on tidal mudflats - favours the inner, more silty parts of estuaries and inlets. Can occur in large flocks of several hundred birds.
Call: Described as loud 'wicka' repeated three times.
Diet: Visual and tactile feeders - feed on a range of invertebrates, including bivalves, polychaete worms and shore crabs. Prefer to feed on muddier estuaries, but also feed in brackish pools and on nearby rough pasture. While on pasture, they feed on the larvae of crane fly (Tipulidae) and on the amphipod Corophium volutator. They have also been recorded feeding on grain in stubble fields on the Wexford Slobs.
Breeding: Breed in lowland wet grassland and marshes. Nine breeding sites were identified in Ireland during the last breeding atlas. More recently, birds were present during the breeding season between 1996 and 1999 inclusive, though breeding was not proven.
Wintering: Winters in a variety of habitats, both inland (particularly grassland and river deltas) and coastal (particularly estuaries), though seldom seen along non-estuarine coast.
Where to see: Little Brosna Callows in County Offaly, Shannon & Fergus Estuary in County Clare, Cork Harbour in County Cork, Dundalk Bay in County Louth and Ballymacoda in County Cork support highest numbers (1,000-3,000 birds).

Physical characteristics
Close in body size and wing length to Bar-tailed Godwit but taller with longer legs and straighter, longer bill. Large rather graceful wader, with long bill on relatively small head, long neck, and long legs. Ground-colour of fore-body mainly dull pink-chestnut in summer, paler grey-brown in winter; white ‚stern‘ more obvious than in Bar-tailed Godwit. Flight pattern unique in waders of west Palearctic: wings have bold white wing-bar above and broad white lining below, and large white area of rump and tail-base contrasts with dark lower back and wide black terminal tail-band.
Habitat
Breeds in upper middle latitudes, both oceanic and continental, mainly in lowland temperate and boreal zones, avoiding frozen, arid, mountainous or rocky, wooded, cultivated, or built-up areas, and parts of wetlands with tall dense vegetation, or submerged except under very shallow water. Originally, doubtless confined to habitat types like those still used in Iceland: vast marshy hummocky moorlands often with extensive growth of creeping dwarf birch, or grass marshes and damp meadows, boggy grassy lake shores, or damp grassy depressions in steppe. In northern Scotland, damp moorland and blanket bog still occupied, and in Netherlands locally on damp heathland. Over past 2 millennia, however, widespread deforestation and pasturage have created extensive new open habitats, often under farming regimes. Some of these now form main breeding areas. Reclaimed areas subsequently reverting to poorly drained pastures, or to damp heaths free of scrub, or other waterlogged marginal farmland, or borders of reedy wetland are of primary importance, but other grasslands managed as meadows, especially when grazed in spring, cut for hay in late summer, and flooded in winter. Young led away after hatching, and once fledged may shift to distinct habitat at some distance, including sewage farms, lake margins, tidal marshes, and mudflats. These and sheltered coastal inlets favoured throughout non-breeding season.
Other details
Limosa limosa is a widespread but patchily distributed breeder in eastern and parts of north-west Europe, which holds more than half of its global breeding population. Its European breeding population is relatively large (>99,000 pairs), but underwent a large decline between 1970-1990. Although the species was stable or increased in several countries—notably Iceland—during 1990-2000, key populations in the Netherlands and Russia continued to decline, and the species underwent a large decline (>30%) overall. Consequently, it is evaluated as Vulnerable.
This wader inhabits the boreal, temperate and steppe regions of Eurasia. The Icelandic population amounts to about 5000-15000 breeding pairs. It is wintering in the British Isles and seems to be slightly increasing. The continental population of Europe is wintering in West Africa, mainly Senegal and Mali. The birds of the Netherlands and Denmark migrate through the Iberian Peninsula and Morocco. Those of Central Europe migrate through Tunisia and Algeria. A small population is passing through the Balkan Peninsula in order to reach East Africa. Despite the fact that the species has extended its breeding area and increased in some regions, it is overall rather declining. This is largely due to agricultural intensification in Europe and problems in the wintering quarters
Feeding
Chiefly invertebrates; in winter and on migration, also plant material. Food located by touch and sight. Most frequently uses prolonged and vigorous probing, often with head completely immersed. Typically, whilst slowly walking forward holds head down with vertical or almost vertical bill making small exploratory probes, then suddenly probes deeply and pulls out prey, usually swallowing it immediately.

“sasrai-Movement” & Pope’s “bold cultural revolution”
Pope Francis says the world urgently needs a “bold cultural revolution” to tackle the looming challenge of catastrophic climate change while addressing the needs of the poor. In a much-anticipated, 184-page encyclical, the reformist Pope endorsed the scientific consensus that humankind is causing a dramatic shift in the world’s climate, which will have the greatest impact on the world’s poor. But he rejected the notion that market mechanisms or technological approaches alone can provide the solution.
Since 2004 “sasrai-Movement” appeals `We must get each child caring to each particle of food and resources. Combat the Climate Change, Global Warming, Poverty, Hunger, Disaster, Ensure Peace, Justice, Dignity and Rights for Each - save a bit, reserve, preserve, rejuvenate and conserve resources.’ Unfortunately most of the focus is human biased, but everything on this planet is symbiotically connected - plants, animals, humans and the Earth itself. We are in need of far sighted Goal & Target.
Planet in Need:
Each Creature Equality
Gender Equality
`sasrai’ Living
Stop Consumption Slavery
Stop Advertisement Administered Lifestyle
Pope Francis indicates: “Today, we have to realize that a true ecological approach always becomes a so¬cial approach; it must integrate questions of jus¬tice in debates on the environment, so as to hear both the cry of the earth and the cry of the poor,”
“sasrai-Movement” ONLY THE PATH TO SAVE MOTHER PLANET EARTH, NATURE. It’s only the path to Eliminate Racial Discrimination - End violence against WOMEN and CHILDREN. sasrai only the path to end POVERTY, VULNERABILITY, HUNGER, DISASTER, CLIMATE Change. Each second, minute, hour day needed to be spent considering earth, environment and humanity. We must get each child caring to each particle of food and resources. Wish the Peace, Justice, Dignity and Rights for all - save a bit, reserve, preserve, rejuvenate and conserve resources.
Let's we try to save one Taka/dollar/pound/yen ........from our daily use, consumption, expenditure, LUXURY combat the CLIMATE CHANGE, GLOBAL WARMING and the sequences Poverty, Hunger, Disaster, Peace, Justice, Human Security, Dignity, Rights
Let's be a desired friend to all creature, humanity, environment, earth
Plant for planet, water for world, environment for entire
sasrai – work locally-serve globally, initiative local-outcome global
sasrai – sustainable augmentation, solicited restraint, animated integrity
NB. UN, INGO,NGO officials need orientation on sasrai-Movement Pope’s Cultural Revolution

Uncertainty and Vulnerability - In order to go forward you have to accept uncertainty, you can't control the outcome in life. You can predict the future but don't expect the future to be certain. After you can accept uncertainty, the vulnerability will come to light. Being vulnerable is not a sign of weakness, you will free yourself from the uncertainties.
