    MILLIONS IN YEMEN ARE IN CATASTROPHIC NEED

They are the forgotten people.

    And many more will die for absolutely no reason.

 


“Unless this moment is seized we’re going to see many more people die for absolutely no reason” David Miliband said to Becky Anderson yesterday, March 29, 2021 on the TV program “Connect the World.

David Miliband is a British Public Policy Analyst and President and Chief Executive Officer of the International Rescue Committee.

Do you want to guess what place in the world they were discussing? That should be easy. Yemen, of course! Where else in the world have children been dying from hunger and lack of medicines for years now?

Where else in the world are millions said to be in catastrophic need?

Millions? Yes some 3.3 million human beings are in catastrophic need as the Civil War rages on. There are many sides in the conflict, but the war is a man-made catastrophe.

Miliband says the opening of Hodeida Port is a step in the right direction. Meanwhile the King of Saudi Arabia has offered a solution. Well-informed observers say there needs to be a national ceasefire.

“It is such a complex situation,” Becky Anderson commented as Miliband went into details of what is going on.

“It is degrading and pushing people into starvation,” he commented. “The cuts in aid have pushed people into starvation. It is the world’s worst humanitarian crisis.”

The first step toward a solution, Miliband says is to stop the fighting!

Then get aid going!

The Yemeni people have been forgotten.

Conflict is the order of the day.

Political settlement is crucial to solving the humanitarian crisis.

The Yemeni Civil war is a multi-sided war that began in late 2014 mainly between the Yemeni Government and the Houthi armed movement. Both sides claim to be the official government of Yemen.

A report on France 24 (issued on 27 March 2021) said: “Rally in rebel held Sanaa marks 6 years of war in Yemen.” Thousands of people marched through Yemen’s capital Sanaa on Friday to mark the 6th anniversary of a Saudi-led intervention against Houthi rebels as the United Nations renewed calls for a cease-fire.

“According to international organizations since that time tens of thousands of people have been killed and millions displaced in what the UN calls the world’s worst humanitarian crisis.”
On Monday Saudi Arabia offered the Houthis a comprehensive UN supervised ceasefire to try and end the brutal conflict but the rebels have dismissed the initiative as “nothing new” the report on France24 said.

“If they want peace they must stop their aggression and end the blockade imposed on the Yemeni people,” a senior Houthi official has said.

According to the latest UN figures “more than 16 million Yemenis will face hunger this year and nearly 50,000 are already starving in famine-like conditions.  “Two-thirds of the 29 million people in that country depend on some form of aid for survival.”

       IT DOES NOT HAVE TO BE THAT WAY.

                              LOVE IS NOT JUST FOR THE YOUNG On the same day that the  BBC reported  French President Emmanuel Macron had been "slapped in the face on an official visit to the south-east of France" and the UN court had rejected "Mladic genocide appeal"    the New York Times carried a story about Wedding Bells. Joy Morrow-Nulton and John Shults Jr. celebrated their wedding! The article (published on June 7, 2021) is written by Tammy La Gorce and accompanied by a photograph taken by Lauren Lancaster. I had been waiting for the story. Ever since I read about the romance that began on May 14, 2019 between the two 95 year olds who had "both been widowed twice after 60-plus years of marriage" I wanted to hear about their wedding. "I hope I can make it to 100 so we can have five years together," Joy said just after the wedding to Mr. Shults in Ulster , N.Y....

Waitress Rescues Child from Abusive Parents!!

       FLAVAINE CARVALHO SAVES CHILD FROM ABUSE   It was New Years Day 2021 and Flavaine Carvalho , a waitress at Mrs. Potato restaurant in Orlando, Florida was busy taking orders. A family of four settled into their place at a nearby table and the adult male signaled that they were ready to place their order. Flavaine took their order and walked away toward the kitchen.   Sometime after she served the family she noticed that no food was placed before the boy (who she figured was about 11 years old.) She watched for a while and then noticed that the child had a bruise on the side of his face. As she looked more closely she saw more bruises on his face and on his arms. She also realized that he was very skinny. He looked incredibly sad. While some people might have ignored what they saw and decided to “mind their own business” something stirred in Flavaine’s heart. She felt that something was just not right. She graciously enquired of the family ...

  WAY TO GO, ALEKSANDER DOBA! Aleksander Doba loved planet Earth. He loved its seas, and its mountains.  He kayaked westward across the vast Atlantic Ocean, all by himself and under his own power - the last time in 2017 when he was 70 years of age. He had done it twice before when he was in his 60s. “He was the most accomplished trans-oceanic solo kayaker in the world,” Fiann Paul said. Fiann of the Iceland Rowing Society International (ORSI) wrote about Doba’s amazing record. (But who is Fiann Paul? He is just the world’s most record breaking explorer and holds the world’s highest number of performance-based Guinness World Records ever achieved within a single athletic discipline. He was born in Poland.)  Aleksander Doba was educated at the University of Poznan and graduated as an engineer, but at heart, he was an adventurer. Fiann Paul explained that Doba became the oldest human -powered ocean explorer to successfully perform an ocean crossing when he sailed across th...
