The UN has described it as one of the worst humanitarian crises in the world.

It’s now four years since the brutal conflict in Yemen began. Four years of indiscriminate attacks, arbitrary detentions, torture and sexual assault. Of families being forced from their homes, starving and desperate. Of children being injured, orphaned and killed.

80 percent of the population is in urgent need of protection.

Yet, even now, our government continues to support the Saudi-led coalition as it bombs children and hospital patients in Yemen.

Despite our repeated calls for transparency, the Australian government won't disclose what arms they are supplying to Saudi Arabia and UAE, who are responsible for these brutal attacks. What have they got to hide?

Our leaders should be using everything in their power to stop the flow of arms and military assistance. And for that to happen we must keep pressure on the Australian government to stop supplying military exports to countries committing war crimes in Yemen.

As Amnesty International’s Middle East Research Director Lynn Maalouf puts it, "There simply is no explanation to justify the continued flow of weapons to the Saudi-led coalition for use in the conflict in Yemen. It has time and time again committed serious violations of international law, including war crimes, with devastating consequences for the civilian population."
