Stop aiding the war in Yemen

Rejected 21 signatures

What the petition asks

For the past 5 years there has been a Civil War happening in Yemen. It is the largest humanitarian crisis we have ever saw and millions of people aren’t even aware of what’s happening there. They are on the brink of going extinct. A child dies every 10 minutes in Yemen.
I would like to ask the UK to stop arming Saudi with weapons. So many innocent people are killed every day because of bombings and shoot outs. It’s very hard to get food and medicine to help people because the ports have been blown up. Please, please sign this petition. They need us and we have neglected them.

Why it was rejected

Provide immediate aid to Yemen and stop selling arms to Saudi Arabia.
