Decision establishing a European Peace Facility (A8-0157/2019 - Hilde Vautmans) (vote)

  Anna Maria Corazza Bildt (PPE). – Madam President, I would like to ask you, and to ask colleagues, to condemn in the strongest way possible the attack by air strikes yesterday in Sana’a, Yemen, against a hospital where children, aid workers and civilians died. It was a hospital supported by Save the Children. It is in total breach of humanitarian law, international law and human rights. I will ask you, Madam President, to condemn the attack and to ask the coalition partners led by Saudi Arabia to respect international law. We cannot continue to turn our back on the plight of the people of Yemen, which is undergoing the worst humanitarian crisis in the world.
