Yemen crisis

THE UK government needs to take a “long hard look” at how it is dealing with the humanitarian crisis in Yemen, says an MP.

Kirsten Oswald, SNP spokesperson on armed forces, said the UK had not raised the crisis in Yemen at any key meetings of EU foreign ministers for two years.

Foreign Secretary Boris Johnson has backed continued arms sales to Saudi Arabia even after Saudi air strikes on a funeral in Yemen left 140 people dead and hundreds more injured, a probe by the MP has revealed.
