House lawmakers urge Blinken to press Saudi Arabia to lift Yemen blockade A group of House Foreign Affairs Committee lawmakers are calling on the Biden administration to “urgently push” Saudi Arabia to lift restrictions on imports to Yemen, where the United Nations says nearly 50,000 people are already starving to death. “Since 2015, the restrictions imposed by the coalition have critically exacerbated the humanitarian crisis in Yemen,” they wrote in a letter to Secretary of State Antony Blinken Tuesday. The letter, led by Reps. Ted Deutch and Joe Wilson the Democratic chair and Republican ranking member of the Subcommittee on the Middle East, North Africa and Counterterrorism and Democratic Rep. Ted Lieu, comes shortly after a group of more than 70 congressional Democrats urged President Joe Biden to encourage the Saudi government to end the blockade.
