Almotamar.net - Oxfam welcomed on Friday the changing of the British policy on exporting weapons to Saudi Arabia which is used in its aggression against Yemen.

The Oxfam emphasized citizens are in the fire line not only because of weapons, but also of the siege imposed on Yemen which affected its main services and economy.

Josephine Hatton, director of the Middle East program at Oxfam, said in a statement the organization welcomed the alteration of the British attitude towards the denial of Saudi Arabia in targeting citizens in its airstrikes against Yemen, and insisting to conduct serious investigations in that regard.

This came after the BBC's interview on Thursday with the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs Philip Hammond, who rejected the Saudi denial of targeting citizens in its air raids on Yemen and calling to carry out a serious investigation over the Saudi sorties against Yemen.
