  "summary": "The UK is facing accusations of fueling the Yemen war as it provides military support to Saudi Arabia, according to academics and civil society groups. An open letter addressed to Prime Minister Andy Burnham and Foreign Secretary Ed Miliband warns that British refuelling for Saudi fighter jets could make the UK complicit in further violations of international law. The letter highlights the ongoing conflict, which has resulted in an estimated 377,000 deaths since 2015, and criticizes the UK's role in US air strikes against the Houthis in 2025. The signatories, including the Campaign Against Arms Trade, Action on Armed Violence, and the Yemen Relief and Reconstruction Foundation, argue that the UK's military support risks complicity in further war crimes and violations of international humanitarian law.",
