do not cut aid to Yemen
not to cut aid to Yemen
Why is this important?
Britain has drastically cut its aid to Yemen, which has been devastated by conflict for six years, saying the pandemic created "a difficult financial context for us all".
The UK government said it would provide "at least" £87m ($120m) this year, down from £164m pledged last year.
Aid officials have condemned the cut. The UN chief, António Guterres, said reducing aid was a "death sentence".
