G20 leaders have been urged to work towards an end to the bombing of Yemen when they meet in an online summit hosted by Saudi Arabia this weekend.

Saudi forces have led a bombing campaign against Yemen for five years, with arms provided by many G20 member countries including the United States, Britain, France, Germany and Italy.

Campaign Against Arms Trade (Caat) urged G20 leaders today to use the summit, which was planned to take place in the Saudi capital city Riyadh until the pandemic struck, to work towards ending the conflict.
