Saudi-led airstrikes hit aid projects, say Oxfam

Europe Editor and Presenter

The charity Oxfam says some of the aid projects which it funds in Yemen have been hit by Saudi-led coalition airstrikes, including a cholera treatment centre, accusing Britain of an “irresponsible and incoherent” policy in the country by continuing to sell arms to the Saudis.

There are reports that the UK is planning to introduce a United Nations security council resolution to support a new push to end the long running conflict.

We are also joined by Larry Lewis from the defence research and analysis organisation CNA. He worked at the US State Department under President Obama with the specific job of trying to stop civilian casualties in Yemen.

A warning – you may find some of the images in this report distressing.
