For nearly a decade, the U.S. has supported a Saudi-led war in Yemen that has killed nearly 400,000 people, including more than 10,000 children—becoming what the UN has called “the world’s worst humanitarian crisis.” American military support is fueling violence and a worsening food crisis in Yemen, and it’s time for this to stop!![]()
