Reacting to the latest report by the UN’s Group of Eminent Experts on Yemen, Oxfam’s Yemen Country Director, Muhsin Siddiquey said:
“The violations outlined by the UN are shocking and are all the proof that’s needed of the misery and suffering being inflicted on the people of Yemen by a war partly fuelled by international arms sales.
“The international community needs to stop arming the parties to this conflict and instead urge all involved to commit to a nationwide cease fire and inclusive negotiations that will lead to a lasting peace.”
