BRITISH weapons have contributed to the “pattern of violence against civilians” in Yemen, according to a damning report published today.
The Fuelling Conflict report from humanitarian aid charity Oxfam found more than four armed attacks on civilians had been carried out each day during 14 months of the ongoing war.
The analysis found more than 1,700 attacks by the Saudi-led coalition left civilians dead, wounded or forced to flee their homes.
