Please send letters to reps to end war in Yemen

400,000 children are going to die, EVERY DAY!? C'mon, that's absurd.

But, if it's an accurate number, it won't take long, before JAP won't have to worry about the starving children... there won't be any!

All because you won't send a letter

Run the numbers. 400k every day. That’s preposterous.

Lol at the government giving a $#@! about the Constitution or having any sort of moral compass.

Sorry Just, X1 has a point. They are not our representatives. Not most of us anyway. Having said that I could not support more imperialism anyway. It never works out for the better.

As Famine Looms in Yemen, Saudi-Led Coalition Redoubles Attacks
https://www.nytimes.com/2018/11/06/w...-hudaydah.html

HUDAYDAH, Yemen — The fight in Yemen has escalated dramatically over the past week, exacerbating a dire humanitarian crisis that the United Nations says could spiral into famine — despite, or even because of, a diplomatic push by the United States to get both sides to the peace table.

The Saudi-led coalition, which the United States has armed and supported, has launched a punishing wave of airstrikes against the rebel Houthis. The warplanes have hit targets in the capital, Sana; in the mountainous northern provinces; and in the Red Sea port of Hudaydah where, aid workers warn, the country’s main humanitarian lifeline hangs by a thread.

A senior aid worker and two Western officials, who asked not to be identified so they could speak openly about Hudaydah, said in interviews that the coalition, commanded locally by the United Arab Emirates, had redoubled its five-month offensive to snatch the city from Houthi control.

Columns of Yemeni militias fighting under the coalition flag have burst across a major front line and swept through the desert on the eastern edge of the city, threatening to encircle it completely, they say. Warplanes and attack helicopters have pummeled Houthi positions in the city in what aid workers called a near-continuous barrage of air attacks.

What does that have to do with a Sunni / Shia confrontation in Yemen?

With 14 million under the age of 15 it would take 37-38 days. After that she will have to find something else to whine about.

What has it to do with our Constitution? Where does it say we can't sell weapons to someone? This is all legal and our interests. If not, then sue the federal government.

Why doesn't the Houthi's stop the war? That would solve the problem. Tell you what? If you write a letter to the Houthi's I'll email them to quit.

Yemen: The 10-year-old boy who weighs just 10kg in a country on the brink of famine

He is one of 400,000 children who suffer from severe acute malnutrition in a country the UN says is on the brink of famine.
https://news.sky.com/story/yemen-the...amine-11547450skynews-adam-malnutrition-yemen_4479442.jpg

Adam is 10 years old. He weighs just 10kg (22lbs) - a little heavier than a bowling ball.
He is too weak to get out of his hospital bed by himself in Yemen, where he lies crying and still.

Adam finds it difficult to breathe and his tiny chest heaves with the effort.
