Stop the war in Yemen and allow humanitarian aid into Yemen.

Rejected 12 signatures

What the petition asks

Stop the war in Yemen, stop the supply of weaponry and military support to the Saudi-led coalition. Yemenis are not able to gain access to the humanitarian aid offered due to parts controlled by Houthi rebels. A safe way must be made for humanitarian aid to get into Yemen without interruption.
24 million people require humanitarian assistance in Yemen, which is almost the entire population of Australia.

1 child dies every ten minutes in Yemen.

Yemen is not only suffering from a war, but it suffering from extreme famine and the worst cholera epidemic to date.

Hospitals are lacking resources and doctors, and are already struggling to treat the famine and cholera outbreak.

Reports say that COVID-19 could wipe Yemen off the map.

We cannot let a war wipe out an entire country.
