Very interesting and informative evening with @ACNURspain and @FundacioFCB. And honoured to see one of the photos we took at the Lviv Arena in Ukraine earlier this year, hosting internally displaced Ukrainians. Pitty to see history repeating itself.

Medios de comunicación llamando a todas las puertas en busca de periodistas sobre el terreno. Y periodistas -los pocos que quedan sobre el terreno- saturados de peticiones. Hoy toca recordar que a los reporteros, para tenerlos listos cuando hacen falta, hay que cuidarlos siempre.
