General:
Yona: I came to Israel an orphan (my parents died in Yemen). I arrived with two family – Najar and Waʿalani. We have been given food at the refugee camp. These families took care of me as if I was their own. They were not my actual family.
Shalom: I arrived from Yemen to ʿAtlit. Yona’s Aliya was from Hashad.
