Stop selling arms to Saudi Arabia
The situation in Yemen has bred described as the worlds worst man made humanitarian crisis in the world. 80% of the population need humanitarian assistance and protection.
Instead of helping the UK have been selling arms to Saudi Arabia that they have been using against Yemen civilians.
20 million people need help securing food; 240,000 of people are facing catastrophic levels of hunger; 3 million people, including 2 million children are malnourished. By 2020, the death toll due to Saudi Arabia’s attacks are said to go high as 233,000 people.
The Saudi intervention in Yemen has been rightfully accused of breaching humanitarian law because of their use of air strikes on civilian targets. These arms they are using are being supplied by the UK.
