U.N. raises $1.3 billion for Yemen, less than a third requested, in effort shadowed by Ukraine war
PBS NewsHourJUL 2022
While the West sanctions and cuts off trade with Russia over its invasion of Ukraine, it has no issues continuing relations with Saudi Arabia – no doubt for oil. It reeks of hypocrisy.
The conflict can only be resolved when the Houthis are forced back to the negotiating table. The US, its Gulf allies, and UN are working together closely to try to bring the fighting to a halt. The Iran-backed rebels are the aggressor in this catastrophe.
The war in Yemen, now in its eighth year, is every bit as brutal as what's taking place in Ukraine. The West's failure to address this humanitarian disaster or cover it in the media with any sort of urgency says a lot about its inherent bias and who it considers worthy and unworthy victims.
