The House Foreign Affairs Committee spotlighted Yemen in its first virtual briefing, which the Middle East subcommittee held today.
“During our subcommittee’s virtual event examining the crisis in Yemen, we heard first-hand accounts of the situation on the ground,” Middle East panel Chairman Ted Deutch, D-Fla., said in a statement. “Along with reduced US and international aid, the current conditions could exacerbate the spread of COVID-19 in Yemen and the region. The US must continue to help foster a political agreement to end the war, reduce human suffering and contain COVID-19 in Yemen.”
