DUBAI - The United Nations and Saudi Arabia host a pledging conference for war-ravaged Yemen on Tuesday to help raise some $2.4 billion as funding shortages imperil the world’s biggest aid operation.
“Anything below $1.6 billion and the operation will be facing catastrophic cutbacks,” Lise Grande, U.N. Humanitarian Coordinator for Yemen, told Reuters just days prior to the conference. Lowcock, asked about Saudi Arabia co-hosting the event, said Riyadh was a large donor and the U.N. would continue to call out warring parties on actions “they should not be doing”.
“Yemen is at a precipice. All indications point to COVID19 spreading fast and wide across the country, overwhelming the health system,” pledge organisers said in a statement on Tuesday.Yemen has been mired in violence since the Houthis ousted the Saudi-backed government from the capital, Sanaa, in late 2014, prompting the coalition to intervene a few months later.
