Sky News has found donated cans of vegetable oil with World Food Programme stamps on them, saying 'not for sale' in English, were among the essential food items being sold.

Why you can trust Sky News

In the same market stall in al Khokha, our investigations revealed sacks of flour and rice, also with large lettering saying"not for sale", which appeared to have been donated by aid agencies from South Korea.When we confronted the shopkeeper, he at first denied he was selling donated food aid. He then tried to hide the incriminating World Food Programme cereal packets that we had spotted on his counter.

But he insisted that he was certainly not the only stallholder selling food aid - and that he was fulfilling a"service" to desperate villagers. She weighed just 3kg - at three years of age - that's less than what an average newborn weighs fresh out of their mother's womb.

AlexCrawfordSky No way. Humanitarian goods being sold on the black market - what are the chances of that. Probably as likely as the sun will rise in the morning.

AlexCrawfordSky Come on you've got to be really naive to think this hasn't been going on for years and years in countries that has vast amounts donated on a regular basis 🫣

AlexCrawfordSky We need to start giving aid as direct cash to those in need. They sell the food because they have other more urgent needs, maybe medical care, for example. Food aid is an inefficient way of addressing food insecurity in any place with functional markets

AlexCrawfordSky Muslims are now killing Muslims in Yemen! Just think what they will do in the UK! Muslim men are cowards who can only fight against women and children. Challenge them to a one on one fight and they will run a mile! PutThemDown HowManyMore MuslimMenAreCowards Mobilise

AlexCrawfordSky So the WFP and the other scumbag NGO’s UN and their despicable employees that are all funded by the UK and other countries have been selling on the food we paid for for their own profit in Yemen! Well done Sky News for exposing these murderers!

AlexCrawfordSky Why is anyone shocked. Of course this happens. Don’t be so naive.

AlexCrawfordSky Oh well 😊!!

AlexCrawfordSky The shock!

AlexCrawfordSky Does the UN not have many failures?

AlexCrawfordSky Am I surprised, not one bit.

AlexCrawfordSky Not surprised

AlexCrawfordSky And this is a shock 🤷🏻‍♂️

antartica81 AlexCrawfordSky Its odd that a British news outlet should highlight that scandal rather than the fact that our government is providing the weapons that are mass-murdering civilians.

AlexCrawfordSky It’s been going on for years. I remember being in Africa in the early 2000s and getting the food stores being deliverd to our construction vessel. Big bags of rice with words “ UN food aid” stamped on the sacks of rice.

AlexCrawfordSky Corruption of course, needs some UN intervention.

AlexCrawfordSky Get them on the bbcapprentice next year sales sales sales

AlexCrawfordSky How low can humanity go!!!

AlexCrawfordSky Does that surprise any one?

AlexCrawfordSky How about the bombs the UK is selling, that are being used in this heinous conflict. Stop fuelling the misery before talking shit.

AlexCrawfordSky Not a shock. Most of our donations and foreign aid probably gets misused. Very sad but most of these countries have governments that we can’t trust. Michelle Moan even does it in the UK

AlexCrawfordSky What these useless places need is contraception.

AlexCrawfordSky CONTRACEPTION, is what is needed.

AlexCrawfordSky I blame who gave it to them. The country is starving, shame on them all. Help Yemen for God's sake. Many hardworking, good hearted people gave their money to feed those dying, and now we learn this. We need people representing the charities on the ground floor with police.

AlexCrawfordSky Is it shocking that I am not shocked.

AlexCrawfordSky Bizim Kizilay baskanindaki zihniyeti, Islam cografyasinda pek de yabanci bir zihniyet degil…

But having the same spirit of faith, according to what is written, “I believed, therefore I spoke,” we also believe, therefore we also speak, knowing that He who raised the Lord Jesus will raise us also with Jesus and will present us with you. — 2 Corinthians 4:13-14

It's amazing how little attention this conflict has received internationally considering the suffering caused.

Maybe Chandler Bing is one of them? 🤔

Yet the premierleague allowed money from the Saudi Royal Family into their league. Despite those bastards doing this to Yemen the EPL opened their legs & said ur welcomed here. To say its revolting is an understatement. Look at those kids will the epl feed them? Will they feck!!

Leave them too it. It's their country and they are entitled to self determination, any western interference is racist as the liberals will tell you 👍🏻

AlexCrawfordSky Well meaning aid being abused by corrupt officials shocker.

AlexCrawfordSky This isn't news and it isn't the only country that it happens in. It's why our aid should be in infrastructure that helps develop self sufficiency rather than aid that doesn't reach far.

AlexCrawfordSky No shocks there.

AlexCrawfordSky Charity very rarely ends up where it is needed most .

AlexCrawfordSky Boo

AlexCrawfordSky Shocking but also Hilarious.

AlexCrawfordSky Lads. I watched the big story this morning and your reporter somehow made it through the whole thing without once mentioning Saudi Arabia. A quite amazing feat 🤨

AlexCrawfordSky

AlexCrawfordSky Shocking, but did your crew give that mother and her baby a lift to the hospital AlexCrawfordSky ?

What about your Ukraine war and your boy Zelenskyy

Strange why sky News are now reporting at length on this war after 8 years , reports were very sparse up to now, Would it have something bo do with the new alliance between the Saudis and Iran and a change in tactics by western media on Saudi,,, who may now become the boogyman,

The older I get, the more I understand. If this is true, that’s why Jesus said you will have the poor with you always. Until the conditions of the human heart are resolved, people will use their power for evil instead of helping the poor.

We never learn. Save us from the simpering handwringing liberals who campaign on these wastrels behalf

The situation in Yemen is shocking but don’t Muslims practise birth control. I find it despicable that they keep having kids when they can’t look after eg the 9 children they have . Almost feels like murder. Why are they so cruel. Should be sterilised for their own sakes and kids

Terrible, what are the conditions for allowance food aid in to the country ?
