UN warns of Yemen ‘death sentence’ as donor pledges fall short
Al Jazeera, 02 Mar 2021
The United Nations secretary-general has said he was disappointed by the outcome of a global donor conference for Yemen.
Antonio Guterres said the event raised roughly $1.7bn - that is less than half of the $3.85bn the UN was seeking.
While big donors gave money in most cases, they actually reduced their contributions from the year before.
