What the petition asks
The UK government must immediately stop providing assistance to Saudi Arabian military campaigns and cease the selling of lethal weapons. They must also pressure the Saudi Arabian and UAE governments to immediately lift the blockade causing famine.
Currently, 75% of the Yemen population are at risk of malnutrition. Every ten minutes an infant under the age of 5 dies from preventable disease or malnutrition, due to the closings/bombings of health centers.
85,000 infants under the age of 2 have died from preventable disease and starvation due to the damage of bombing and blockade. It is a moral duty to assist Yemen.
