UN seeking to raise $3.85bn to avert widespread famine in country devastated by years of civil war
Yemenis and international aid organisations have urged the UK to reconsider reported cuts of up to 50% of its support for humanitarian efforts in the country’s devastating civil war.
The UN is hoping to raise $3.85bn (£2.76bn) from more than 100 governments and donors at a major virtual pledging conference on Monday to avert widespread famine in what is already being called the world’s worst humanitarian crisis.
