March update: Join us for two important actions regarding Gaza and Yemen

Stand in solidarity with the people of Yemen

March 26th 2015 saw the start of the Saudi-led coalition’s war on Yemen. Since then the people have endured nine years of bombardment and a devastating human toll. Thousands of Yemeni civilians have been killed by Saudi bombs, facilitated by UK arms sales. The UN estimates that 377,000 war related deaths occurred by the end of 2021. Over 150,000 of these deaths were the direct result of the armed conflict In total the UK has supplied at least £28 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 6pm on Wednesday March 26th outside Downing Street to stand in solidarity with the people of Yemen and commemorate all the lives unnecessarily lost in this brutal war. Full details can be found here.
