Will Joe Biden reinstate humanitarian aid to Yemen? Democratic senators seek action to counter Covid-19 impact

After Biden vowed that the war in Yemen must end, a number of Democratic lawmakers have taken an initiative to request he restore the humanitarian aid in northern Yemen which was suspended in the times of Trump. Massachusetts Senator Edward J Markey, Oregon Senator Jeff Merkley, Maryland Senator Chris Van Hollen and Vermont Independent Senator Bernie Sanders wrote a letter to Secretary of State Antony Blinken and United States Agency for International Development (USAID) Acting Administrator Gloria Steele seeking reversal of the previous administration’s decision to suspend Washington’s humanitarian aid in Yemen. In March last year, the Trump administration cut off tens of millions of dollars for healthcare programs and other aid to the devastated Middle East nation, rejecting requests by humanitarian groups and some members of Congress to delay the decision as the Covid-19 pandemic swept across the region.
