Stop Boris Johnson halving the Yemen Aid budget

Rejected 21 signatures

What the petition asks

More children starving, and Boris Johnson has turned his back. Yemen is facing what is being described by the UN as the ‘worst famine in decades’ with 60 million people going hungry and 400,000 children at risk of severe, acute malnutrition. The Civil war has left may essential supplies restricted.

Children are dying. This week, Boris is halving the aid budget to Yemen. He is trying to get this through parliament without a vote. Yemen is on the brink of losing an entire generation. If the UK fails to support Yemen, thousands could die. Boris has turned his back. Yet, if the UK continues to offer support to Yemen, thousands could be saved. Please encourage Boris Johnson to keep the aid budget stable to provide food and finance to Yemen. Sign this petition and start saving lives.
