Yemen barely makes the news, despite the 8th year of war and an unprecedented humanitarian crisis. Don’t forget about Yemen.
This is #Yemen today:
🚨 Over 20 million people need humanitarian assistance.
🚨 Over 4.7 million women and children are acutely malnourished.
🚨 Over 3.3 million people have fled their homes.
and to be rescheduled!
Because of other events on campus, we have decided to cancel our event today and reschedule an online version. Please look out for details!
On May 5th at 6:30 pm, join us in person or on Zoom for an educational teach-in on the ongoing humanitarian crisis in Yemen.
For more information and to register, click on the Eventbrite link in our bio. For any questions, please feel free to DM us. We hope to see you there!🙏🏾

“44% of Yemen's population, some 10 million people, lack access to sufficient, nutritious food. Of these, roughly 5 million people are in extreme difficulty—without assistance, they will not have enough sustenance to survive.” 1/

🧵Over the past week, the US-supported, Saudi/UAE assault on Yemen has intensified, met with international silence. Many have reached out asking how they can help. Here are some actions you can take today. 1/

This little detail of naming who are behind the "airstrikes" is crucial! Airstrikes are committed by the KSA/UAE led coalition, who are armed & trained by the U.S. Plz don't leave that out. Be the voice of Yemenis, they've been cut off from the world for THREE DAYS #YemenBlackout

This war is being waged on yemen by the Saudi and UAE governments. their efforts wouldn’t be possible without the assistance of the United States.
These three countries are starving out 30 million people while raining down bombs on their homes. Don’t speak gently about it.
