Rejected petition Do not cut aid to Yemen
Rejected on
We want the UK government to increase the amount of humanitarian aid to Yemen.
The government has cut aid to Yemen from 164 million to just 87 million whilst the US has pledged an extra £191 million.
The UN chief has condemned this decision calling it a death sentence for the people of Yemen, 20 million of whom rely on humanitarian aid for survival.
