"developing humanitarian crisis"!! The war started in March 2015. The number of displaced people is now over 3M but already more than a year ago it was over 2M. More than 6 months ago there were more than 0.5M people suspected of having cholera. This is a report from January of this year:

Quoting from it 'Over 10 million Yemenis require "immediate assistance to save or sustain their lives," UN humanitarian chief Stephen O'Brien warned' Remember this was in January!

Mrs May: it has developed a long time ago.
