This is Daniel Johnson. Picture the war in Yemen and chances are you’ve come across an image or two by war photo-journalist Giles Clarke. 

On his latest trip to the country that’s been ravaged by six years of war, he based himself in an abandoned school, that’s home to hundreds of displaced people. 

The photographs he took and the stories he heard feature in a campaign to raise awareness about their plight. It’s called Inside Yemen, Portraits of Resilience, and it wasn’t easy, as he explained when I spoke to him for this UN News interview.
