Across Yemen, more than 22 million people are dependent on humanitarian assistance or protection, of whom around 8.4 million are severely food insecure and at risk of starvation.
“If conditions do not improve, a further 10 million people will fall into this category by the end of the year,” cautioned Mark Lowcock, the UN Emergency Relief Coordinator, in a statement.
The threat of a resurgence in deadly cholera, together with watery diarrhoea also looms, which infected over 600,000 people during the last outbreak, he added.
Of particular concern is the situation of Yemen’s children – one in four are out of school, not only deprived of education but also at risk of recruitment by armed groups and exploitation.
“Humanitarian staff are being detained and intimidated and visas are being delayed and denied. Programmes and missions are being interfered with in ways which contradict humanitarian principles,” he added, calling on the Government to act on the assurances it made in the past and lift restrictions.

Corbyn got screamed at by his own party's right wing when he tried cutting off the financial ties to the Saudis, the Tories are even deeper in their pockets.

Yet now the Labour right and Tories are saying he's anti Semitic, despite these same groups giving military aid in the billions to a group who funds extremist islamic groups which terrorize jews and also do this shit.

I fucking hate the right wing in this country.
