Yemen: 'Choices have been made to abandon these people', says UN official

In the past, relief efforts have helped avoid suffering and death. However, without these in place Sir Lowcock said"half the people we were reaching, we're barely able to give any food to anymore".He said countries in the Gulf typically pledge a lot of money but"have not pledged as much this year and have paid almost nothing", adding that"every country actually needs to step up to do more".

David Milliband, president of the International Rescue Committee, emphasised this is not a tragedy, telling Sky News:"This is a crisis of diplomacy because there's a war going on. It's a crisis of politics because the UN is stuck unable to bring the waring parties to heel.He added:"The threat of famine and the reality of malnutrition is daily life in Yemen today and it is preventable, and that's what makes this an absolute scandal.

Sir Lowcock spoke about how"heartbreaking" the closure of the"life saving" programmes has been, but highlighted that the UN can"only keep them going if people pay for them" due to its reliance on voluntary contributions., said the UK would provide a further £5.8m in UK aid to help avoid famine in the country.

Where are all the celebrities? UN official is spot on.

Just say it. These are British bombs falling on these people. Say it.

Or they could surrender then this would be over?

The Saudis and the UAE should stop dropping bombs on Yemeni hospitals..

It’s good Sky reports this burst how about reporting on the knifingsbin Britain, rape gangs, I mingrant invasion?

It’s to do with the rebels seizing the ports and the aid znd un doing nothing about it
