The super-rich elite must pay their fair share to fight global inequality

"As the cost of living soars, 95 food & energy corporations more than doubled their profits last year. They made $306 billion in windfall profits, paying out 84% of that ($257 billion) to rich shareholders," writes

For the first time in a quarter of a century, extreme wealth and extreme poverty have increased simultaneously. This has been driven by a seismic wave of inequality, exacerbated by recurrent crises...

High-Level Pledging Event on the Humanitarian Crisis in Yemen

10/10 "Your support has the power to lift the shadow." -

9/10 "Failure to improve how we support these crucial networks will not only contribute to the worrying trend of diminishing civil society in #Yemen but will also increase complexity to 1 of the most challenging humanitarian operating environments in the world." -

8/10 "Support pledged today can change the narrative for this mother and millions of others. To have the most impact, the funding disbursed must be long term, flexible and within easy reach of NGOs"

7/10 "Daily in #Yemen ordinary people are forced to make extraordinary, wrenching choices. 1 mother, desperate for income, travels 2 hours from home to work in a field for one dollar a day, forced to leave her nine-year-old child in charge of nine younger siblings. " -

6/10 “Today must also see solid support for a principled humanitarian response that can reach all people in need - particularly Yemeni women – who form almost half of all those in need.”

5/10 "In the words of my colleague Nada - “even when there is no war – the impact is still all around – high food prices and economic instability – the worry is eating our head every day.”

4/10 "Humanitarian aid continues to keep the worst at bay in Yemen. But today must also see the international community redouble commitments to support a long-term - sustained solution to the root causes of the suffering." -

3/10 "For many years now, civil society has been core to conflict resolution and humanitarian response across Yemen. I am humbled and honoured today to bring you some of the perspectives of our staff and partners." -

2/10 "Eight years of protracted conflict have seen too many lives lost, the collapse of basic infrastructure and services and economic deterioration that has left millions facing hunger and reliant on aid to survive." -

1/10 "In being here, you are showing solidarity with the people of Yemen - that you will not stand by while Yemenis suffer." -
