The war in Yemen might be the worst humanitarian crisis in a century — since the president won’t stop U.S. involvement, Congress has to act, says Alyssa Milano.

“Congressman Ro Khanna and Senator Bernie Sanders are leading an effort in Congress to end the catastrophic war in Yemen that has been raging on for over three years now,” explained actress and activist Alyssa Milano. “Please call your members of Congress to pass their War Powers Resolutions to stop this mass atrocity.”

Due to the U.S.-backed, Saudi-led war, 12 to 14 million people are on the brink of mass starvation and 85,000 children under the age of five have died already.

“This has the potential to be the worst humanitarian crisis. And the sad part is that this crisis is all man-made,” Milano said. “But the good news is we know how to fix it.”

According to Milano, Saudis are attacking countless civilians using American-made bombs with American taxpayers footing the costs. They are also creating a whole new generation of young people in the middle East who grew up seeing U.S. bombs kill their loved ones.

“This war is not making us any safer,” Milano said. “We must put pressure on the Saudis to end the bombing at the port of Al-Hudaydah.”
