A bipartisan group of senators is calling on the US administration to throw its weight behind another international donor conference for Yemen after the last one raised less than half of what the United Nations said was needed to stave off a looming famine in the war-torn country.
“We urge you to support another donors conference that fills that funding shortfall, as doing so could mean the difference between life and death for millions of Yemenis,” Sens. Chris Murphy (D-Conn.), Jeanne Shaheen (D-N.H.), Todd Young (R-Ind.) and Jerry Moran (R-Kan.) wrote to Secretary of State Antony Blinken on Tuesday.
