How is Hassan?" a young Yemeni woman I'll call Heba asked me coyly, interrupting a conversation about the hardships she and other Yemeni refugees had experienced since the pandemic outbreak. 1 It was December 2021, during my first visit to the refugee camp in nearly two years. I was eager to learn about the impact of the coronavirus on my interlocutors' daily lives, their economic well-being, and their migratory plans. As in many communities the world over, some believed Covid-19 was a conspiracy, a distant threat, or a "Christian"/[alien] disease. Others described how "everyone" in the camp and at home in Yemen had suffered its symptoms. But amid our discussions of these and other grave developments, several Yemeni refugees I had come to know asked me explicitly about the 1 All names used in this chapter are pseudonyms, with the exception of the named photographers Nadia Benchallal and Khaled al-Maqtari. I am profoundly grateful to the NYUAD Office of Global Education for enabling the course travel I describe below; to the Akkasah Center for Photography at NYUAD for their support; to Carol Brandt, Wayne Young, and Nadia Benchallal for accompanying me on preparatory and class trips; to the NYUAD students for their sincere engagement with the refugees in Markazi; and, most of all, to our hosts for their unparalleled generosity.
ABSTRACT Zayd Mutee Dammaj's The Hostage is one of the narratives that addresses the suffering and struggling of the Yemeni people under the imamate rule. This narrative does not come to express the life of one of the Yemeni hostages in the prison and later on as a servant in the palace of the Governor of Imam, but it comes to express the concerns of a nation oppressed to respond to the imamate demands pre-revolution. This article is an attempt to go through reconstructing of the identity of a hostage who still young and reshaping his identity may not take too much efforts. Through the reconstructing of the hostage identity and its manifestations in his life, this article traces impact of this sort of life in a life of a small hostage who has taken from his mother to enforce his family and tribe to respond positively to the imamate illegal demands. The life of the hostage reveals the corruption and absurdity of life in the palace of the Governor of Imam and his relatives who claim piety. It is found that the life of Governor's palace left a deep influence in the physical, psychological, cultural, sexual and religious life of the hostage. Eventually the hostage managed to escape from this life to unknown future

How are refugees responding to protect themselves and others in the midst of the Covid-19 pandemic? How do these responses relate to diverse local, national, and international structures of inequality and marginalization? Drawing on the case of Beddawi camp in North Lebanon, I argue that local responses-such as sharing information via print and social media, raising funds for and preparing iftar baskets during Ramadan, and distributing food and sanitation products to help people practice social distancing-demonstrate how camp residents have worked individually and collectively to find ways to care for Palestinian, Syrian, Iraqi, Kurdish, and Lebanese residents alike, thereby transcending a focus on nationalitybased identity markers. However, state, municipal, international, and media reports pointing to Syrian refugees as having imported the virus into Beddawi camp place such local modes of solidarity and mutuality at risk. This article thus highlights the importance of considering how refugee-refugee assistance initiatives relate simultaneously to: the politics of the self and the other, politically produced precarity, and multi-scalar systems that undermine the potential for solidarity in times of overlapping precarities.
