Stop UK arms sales to Saudi Arabia Stop UK bombs killing Yemeni civilians
Saudi Arabia has carried out indiscriminate airstrikes in Yemen killing thousands of civilians.
These have been allowed by the British government's licensing of billions of pounds of arms sales to Saudi Arabia. Saudi's blockade of Yemen has resulted in the worst humanitarian crisis in the world.
The Yemen civil war has been described as a humanitarian crisis by the United Nations. It estimates that over 20 million people are in need of humanitarian assistance.
Amnesty International says Arms sales are fuelling the humanitarian crisis, and it has called on governments to stop selling weapons to the participants.
The UK is the 2nd biggest exporter of arms to Saudi Arabia after the US
