CHARITIES working in Yemen have slammed the shortfall in global pledges to help millions suffering from the fallout of a devastating eight-year civil war.
The United Nations said on Monday that donors have pledged around $1.2 billion (£990 million) at a conference aimed at generating funds to help millions of people in Yemen.
The amount is far below a target of $4.3bn (£3.5bn) set by the UN to address one of the world’s worst humanitarian crises.
