The U.S. Department of State has pledged more than $444 million in additional humanitarian assistance to Yemen, bringing the total amount contributed by Yemen’s top donor to over $5.4 billion since conflict in the country began in 2014.
Secretary of State Antony Blinken said in a statement on Feb. 27 that the donation illustrates “the continued generosity” of the United States, noting that the new financial assistance will enable U.S. partners to deliver “life-saving aid to Yemen’s most vulnerable people.”
