March 26th marks ten years since the Saudi-led coalition started their brutal assault on Yemen. In that time, thousands of Yemeni civilians have been killed by Saudi bombs. The UN estimates that 377,000 war related deaths occurred by the end of 2021. Over 154,000 of these deaths were the direct result of the armed conflict. In total the UK has supplied at least £31 billion worth of arms to the Saudi-led coalition attacking Yemen. Recently, the UK and US have bombed targets in Yemen in response to the Houthis attacking international shipping in the Red Sea, heaping more violence on the country and threatening the fragile peace.
The war in Yemen has caused one of the worst humanitarian crises in the world.

Join us at 6pm on Wednesday March 26th outside Downing Street to stand in solidarity with the people of Yemen and commemorate all the lives unnecessarily lost in this brutal war.
