Closed Yemen: Call for ceasefire and support 6-point pledge to end conflict and famine

Closed on

With 85k children perished so far and 8m people on verge of starvation, the UK must act to protect the people of Yemen.
The government must call for a ceasefire, the adoption of a new UN Security Council resolution, proper funding of humanitarian relief, and investigation of alleged war crimes.

The six point pledge was drawn up by NGOs, politicians and members of the UN.
