‘Abandoning’ Yemen in its hour of need

THE Government has been slammed for slashing funding to save children in war-torn Yemen which is on the brink of famine.

Yesterday James Cleverly said the Foreign Office funding would amount to £87million, 54% of last year’s donation of £160m.

Ex-tory Minister Andrew Mitchell, said the move “will condemn hundreds of thousands of children to starvation”.

Muhsin Siddiquey, of Oxfam, said the move was “especially callous”.

Kevin Watkins, of Save the Children, said: “Britain should be standing up for children, not abandoning them in their hour of greatest need.”
