Rejected petition Provide urgent aid to Yemen and end the famine
Rejected on
The UK is fuelling the war in Yemen.
The UK must:
-End the sale of weapons, logistical help, and intelligence to the Saudi-led coalition
-Provide humanitarian aid in Yemen immediately
-Remove the blockade stopping food, fuel, and aid entering Yemen
Every ten minutes a child dies in Yemen. Every month, 2000 children die from starvation or preventable diseases.
Yemen is facing the biggest and worst humanitarian crisis in the world - war, famine, preventable disease outbreaks such as cholera, and coronavirus. The healthcare system has collapsed. Over 24 million Yemeni people need urgent aid, and the UK government has a role to play in providing it.
