Dear Robert,

Every ten minutes a child in Yemen is dying from malnutrition and a lack of
medical care, both the results of the ongoing war. And now Saudi Arabia,
which has been involved in Yemen's internal conflict for the past two
years, may be getting a green light from Donald Trump to attack the and
close the critical port of Hodeidah, blocking most of Yemen's food imports
and plunging the entire nation into famine.

Vatican Radio reports. "'Time running out': 1.4 million children could die

RT reports.

The American people need to hear this story but the most prominent US
newspaper, The New York Times', is ignoring the crisis. A search shows only
wire stories and no regular New York Times article.

Press NYT editors for prominent coverage of the UN's famine warning for
Yemen by signing and sharing our petition

.

The only way to stop the famine is to stop the war. The only way to stop
the war is for the United States to stop weapon sales to Saudi Arabia and
to stop facilitating the Saudi bombing. But first, we need to expose how
horrific a situation US bombs and support are creating. Tell the New York
Times to do its job.
