Tallabah in Yemen © Azzam al-Zubairi
Two years ago, Tallabah and her family lived in their own house.
Now, they camp in a tent pitched in a graveyard.
To feed them, she must beg for food.
Tallabah is one of a staggering 20 million people in Yemen who don’t have enough to eat.
We’re sharing her story to put a face to the world’s largest humanitarian crisis.
We hope it will help us all understand why Yemen’s people desperately need our help.
For the second time in three months, a deadly tsunami has hit Indonesia.
After dark on 22 December, a tsunami wave ploughed into the Indonesian island of Java.
At least 222 people have been killed. More than 840 are injured and 28 are missing. Sadly, these numbers are expected to rise.
Banten on Java was one of the worst affected areas and its seaside district of Pandeglang was crowded with holiday tourists when the tsunami hit.
Over 550 houses, 350 boats and nine hotels were badly damaged.

Your country is at war and has been for years. And there are not just two armies fighting, but instead around 30 armed groups.
Anywhere and everywhere can be a battlefield and nobody knows when the next round of violence will break out.
They don’t just attack each other – kidnappings, random shootings and sexual assaults are common.
Elections are a month away. You feel it’s likely that tensions will get worse.
Then people start to die from a disease you’ve never seen or heard of before.
People suddenly arrive from other towns, or even other countries and continents.
They tell you to change how you have always done things so you and your family won’t get ill. But you don’t know if what they are saying is true.
Even the name they use for this mystery disease is new to you: Ebola.
