U.K.: Labour's Jeremy Corbyn Condemns British-Backed Saudi-Led War in Yemen
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

The warning came as British Labour Party leader Jeremy Corbyn condemned
British support for a U.S.-and-U.K.-backed, Saudi-led bombing campaign
in Yemen, which has killed over 10,000 people, spawned a massive cholera
epidemic, and put 7 million people on the brink of famine. In a public
letter, Corbyn urged Prime Minister Theresa May to, "Lift the Saudi
blockade in order to stop this already catastrophic humanitarian crisis
becoming one of the worst combinations of famine and disease since the
1980s, with millions of innocent people, especially children, at risk of
death."
