Apparently everybody has better things to do than worry about more than 50,000 brown children dying a year...
With the genocide continuing, well-fed members of US Congress have introduced the Yemen War Powers Resolutions, that has also been entered into the US Senate.
If it would have passed it supposedly would bring an end to the US military support for the UAE / Saudi war against poor Yemen.
When a similar resolution was passed in 2019, it was vetoed by Trump.
Senile Joe didn't even need to veto it, as Senator Bernie Sanders withdrew his request to vote on the Yemen War Powers Resolution, "because" the Biden administration is "opposed" to the resolution and threatened a veto by Biden.
I don't understand why no other senator would pick this up, or how Bernie Sanders could decide which bills are or aren't voted on.
Many of the same Biden administration officials that in 2019 called on Congress to override Trump’s veto of the Yemen war powers resolution, are now against the current one, including Jake Sullivan, Samantha Power, Susan Rice, Wendy Sherman, and Colin Kahl: https://theintercept.com/2022/12/13/bern...ite-house/
After a 6 months truce in Yemen, on October 2 the warring parties didn't extend it.
While the Saudis (or the Houthis that don't accept the Saudi puppet government of course) get most of the blame for the war against Yemen, the United Arab Emirates are often ignored.
The UAE is backing the Southern Transitional Council, fighting in southern Yemen for a new state with Aden as its capital.
Meanwhile the UAE army has started building a military airfield on the island of Abd al Quri, which is Yemeni territory.
Some Arab media have reported that Israel and the UAE are planning a joint intelligence center on the Yemeni island of Socotra to control the Yemeni airspace and maritime traffic in the Bab al-Mandeb Strai: https://journal-neo.org/2022/10/05/yemen...-unabated/
According to UN data, at the end of 2021 the blockade/war has caused 377,000 deaths (an underestimate of course), more than two-thirds of those younger than 5 years old.
The International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) reported this month that 1 mother and 6 newborn Yemeni babies die every 2 hours (84 per day).
The Red Cross also warned that two-thirds of Yemen’s 30.5 million people lack access to basic healthcare (most of them wouldn't need medical care if they could eat!): https://www.rt.com/news/558711-yemen-hea...ies-dying/
Since I heard about the "truce" in the war against Yemen, I've been thinking that with Yemen importing 90% of its food, including 50% of its wheat in 2021 from Ukraine and Russia, they will continue to suffer starvation even when the blockade is stopped, with global food shortages and hyperinflation already happening.

Quote:The extremely difficult socio-economic situation in Yemen remains a subject of particular concern. The degrading situation in the country can be described as a major humanitarian catastrophe. We reiterate the urgent need to remove all restrictions on the delivery of essential goods to Yemen. Food, medicine, and other items that Yemenis need must be available to them on a non-discriminatory basis.https://journal-neo.org/2022/07/21/yemen...an-crisis/
