The Power Paradox: When Global Arm Sales Finance Humanitariani$m... $3 billion Aid For Yemen?

in #news7 years ago (edited)

Humanitarian crisis In Yemen is worst in the world – Oxfam reports in the video above. Yet another obvious case against any war, and as why we shouldn't even think of donating any money as long as arm's factories are not shut down and abolished. 

Standing up for others is standing up for oneself when one sees through all the paradoxes and is willing to undo them. Further, do we really need the UN, this body that is supposed to represent Human Rights, when the latter spends its time begging for money instead of preventing calamities?

UN aid agency calls for nearly $3 billion in humanitarian aid for Yemen

'The United Nations is calling for what it refers to as a record $2.96  billion aid for war-ravaged Yemen where Saudi airstrikes, looming  famine, and cholera have claimed the lives of thousands of people. According to a statement released by the UN Office for the  Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA) on Sunday, the aid will be  used to respond to the crisis in Yemen. Currently, 1.3-million people “urgently require assistance to  survive...a generation of children is growing up in suffering and  deprivation," added the OCHA. "Nearly two-million children are out of school, 1.8-million  children under the age of five are acutely malnourished, including 400  000 who suffer from severe acute malnutrition and are 10 times more  likely to die if they do not receive medical treatment,” it said. Humanitarian Coordinator in Yemen Jamie McGoldrick noted that  Humanitarian assistance would not solve the crisis in the country, but  it would be a lifeline for millions of people. “Today, humanitarian partners appeal to the international community to support this critical lifeline,” he added.  Last week, the UN announced that the number of the Yemenis who are dependent on assistance has risen to 22.2 million.'  Read more: UN aid agency calls for nearly $3 billion in humanitarian aid for Yemen

So you are not happy that the UN spends its time begging for money?

Oh, the irony!

The free market is the answer. People making individual decisions about what to do with their resources is what makes our civilization work. And money is the tool that is used make those decisions even possible.
