Oxfam reaction to air strikes in Yemen

An Oxfam spokesperson said:

“The last thing Yemen needs is further conflict. Oxfam calls on the United Kingdom, United States and all other parties to de-escalate immediately and continue to advance an inclusive political settlement in Yemen.

“The humanitarian situation in Yemen remains dire with almost 21 million people in desperate need of food, water and life-saving aid.  It is vital that peace is restored and further suffering prevented.”
