Bel True – ‘Irresponsible and incoherent’: British-backed bombing raids destroy UK aid in Yemen

Summary:
42% of the British public don't even know that there is a war going on in Yemen. Aid projects funded by Oxfam in Yemen have been hit in Saudi-led coalition airstrikes, it has emerged, as the British government faces mounting pressure to halt arms sales to Riyadh.   A vital cholera treatment centre in Abs, in the Hajjah province, was hit in June in coalition war strikes – which are supported by British intelligence – despite the location being reported to the Saudi alliance more than 12 times. Two months before that, coalition air raids severely damaged an Oxfam-supported water supply system that provided water for 6,000 people. The British charity – supported by UK and European funding – revealed the news after Oxfam’s Dina el-Mamoun told the International Development
