March 26th marks eight 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, including 12,000 civilians in directly targeted attacks. In total the UK has supplied at least £23 billion worth of arms to the Saudi-led coalition attacking Yemen. The war in Yemen has caused one of the worst humanitarian crises in the world.
Join us at 12noon outside Downing Street to stand in solidarity with the people of Yemen and commemorate all the lives unnecessarily lost in this brutal war.
We will also hear from speakers (tbc) about the dreadful situation in Yemen and the UK’s complicity in the war on Yemen.
