Tell Senators to Urge Pres. Biden to Pressure Saudi Arabia to End Deadly Blockade of Yemen
BACKGROUND
The United Nations says Yemen is the site of world’s greatest humanitarian crisis: 5 million of 28 million Yemenis and 400,000 Yemeni children are in danger of starving. We must act now! One Yemeni child is starving to death every 75 seconds. Our country is contributing to this massive human tragedy by giving military aid to Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates. Click HERE for a recent news article describing this humanitarian crisis and appeals from four U.N. organizations.
Yemen has been the site of a deadly civil war between Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates and Houthi rebels. By giving shipments of arms to these countries, the U.S. has blood on its hands. President Biden can demand that Saudi Arabia lift the blockade on the port of Hodeidah so that petroleum can become available to transport food and supplies to the rest of the country. About 30,000 Yemenis live in Michigan.
TAKE ACTION!
CALL SENATOR GARY PETERS: 1-202-224-4822 and SENATOR DEBBIE STABENOW: 1-202-224-6221

- Ships must deliver petroleum so vehicles can get food to 5 million Yemini people who are starving.
