- At today’s donor conference for Yemen, just under $ 1.7 billion was promised, which is far worse than the 3.8 billion requested by the UN.
- The donor conference in support of war-torn Yemen, where there is an acute threat of famine, was organized by Sweden together with Switzerland and the UN.
- “Not the amount demanded by the UN, but better than we thought, which means that our efforts to make the world understand that we can prevent famine in Yemen have yielded results,” says Sweden’s Minister for Development Aid Per Olsson Fridh.
