In this May 21, 2020, photo, grave diggers bury bodies at Radwan Cemetery in Aden, Yemen. At the cemetery in Yemen’s largest southern city, dozens of fresh graves are a testament to a spike in deaths amid the coronavirus pandemic. The cemetery workers who bury them don’t know what killed the newly deceased. But there’s no denying that there's been an increasing number of people getting sick in the port city of Aden — likely from the coronavirus.
Mark Lowcock told a U.N. briefing Thursday that the United Nations received $3.2 billion last year for Yemen because countries in the region — including Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates who are involved in the conflict — stepped up. Lowcock said he expects high-level representation at the conference, and asked: “Is the world ready simply to watch Yemen fall off the cliff?”
“Tragically, we do not have enough money to continue this work,” they said. “Of 41 major U.N. programs in Yemen, more than 30 will close in the next few weeks if we cannot secure additional funds.”The 17 signatories said they have the skills, staff and capacity to meet the difficult challenges of delivering aid in Yemen but no money and time is running out.
Saudi Arabia has provided millions of donations to support Yemenis during this plight
I wish peace and love for Yemen
It's worldwide genocide and gentrification We were warned but yet we elect officials with their own agendas, and not for people. Pride should be to the people they serve not for greed.
Yes, please give us 2.4 billion so we can pay our staff 2.2 billion and actually only use about 200 Million on real aid for Yemen .. Please?
America needs to Focus on its own Shores, We have our own problems.

If Saudi Arabia & Pompeo would quit selling MBS illegal weapons to fight Yemen when they're people r starving and going thru a pandemic proves that Trump & Pompeo r not human!
A teal US president would be sending help immediately.., but not realDonaldTrump - he doesn’t even care that Americans are dying. Such a disgrace we are under trump.
It’s a shame that corruption and politics within the U.N. have made it its own worst enemy, on top of U.S. right wing agendas against it. Saudi Arabia is responsible once again for this tragedy and travesty.
NO, the UN has enough cash ....
UN produced this conflict. All the bureaucrats must go to Yemen and save the population with their own bloody hands.
Stop Huthi and Iran funds to them, and everything will be alright.
nope not one penny, let their rich neighbours help them with $$$
UN be human
Well, the UN should shell it out then.
Ask china to cough up the cash
Where was the UN in helping the United States with our COVID-19 problems?
