BRITISH arms sales to Saudi Arabia are helping to enable “disgusting war crimes” in Yemen and must end, food workers demanded today.

The bakers’ union’s Dimitru Manole said the West “screams with indignation at Russia’s war crimes in Ukraine but, when it comes to those of our allies, there is nothing but silence.”

He was addressing the final day of the union’s annual conference in Staffordshire, which saw delegates give overwhelming support to a motion which warned that Yemen is witnessing the “biggest human catastrophe on Earth.”
