Yemen is facing a major humanitarian crisis. A devastating conflict has left children and families in urgent need of food, water and medical supplies. Currently, 1.71 million children are internally displaced. No place in Yemen is safe for children.
40% of the UK’s weapons sales between 2010 and 2019 went to Saudi Arabia, who are major contributors to the crisis.
An Early Day Motion (EDM), calling on the Government to end all support for the war and suspend all arms sales to Saudi Arabia immediately, has been tabled in the House of Commons
Merseyside MPs Paula Barker (Wavertree), Kim Johnson (Liverpool Riverside), Dan Carden (Walton) and Mick Whitley (Birkenhead) have already pledged their support, but many other are yet to do so. If your MP hasn’t signed, please get in touch with them as soon as possible. You can find their contact details on the Parliament website at https://members.parliament.uk/FindYourMP
