Maintain aid to Yemen: Do not cut aid by 50% amidst a humanitarian crisis
The government has announced plans to cut humanitarian aid funding to Yemen by approximately 50%.
The UK government should maintain its position as a global leader in providing support for people in need.
Please maintain, or increase, the current level of funding for humanitarian aid.
Yemen is facing one of the world's worst humanitarian crises and the UK should be a global leader in the provision of support to those in such dire need.
"The UN is already warning that 400,000 children under five might die if more is not done to help ... To slash food and medicine to these children [by 50%] as they stand on the brink of famine & a second COVID-19 wave risks thousands of deaths"
- Kevin Watkins, CEO of Save the Children UK
