UN chief disappointed at outcome of pledging event for Yemen

UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres takes part in the high-level pledging conference for Yemen at the UN headquarters in New York, March 1, 2021. Antonio Guterres said the outcome of Monday's high-level pledging conference for Yemen is disappointing. Pledges announced a total of about 1.7 billion U.S. dollars -- less than last year's pledges and 1 billion dollars less than what was pledged at the conference in 2019, said Guterres in a statement.
