In February, donors, led by Saudis/UAE ($750m each) pledged $2.6b for the humanitarian crisis in #Yemen. Today, the UN announced those funds have "failed to materialize." Vaccinations are halted. 22 "life-saving" programs, food rations for millions, will end shortly.
According to UN figures, the Saudis and UAE have funded the 2019 Yemen response plan to the tune of $286.6 million -- far short of the $1.5 billion they pledged earlier. This appears to be the principal shortfall.

"Unless the funds promised at the pledging conference are received in coming weeks, food rations for 12 million people will be reduced and at least 2.5 million malnourished children will be cut-off from the services which keep them alive."

NEW: U.S. intel officials assess that MRAPs provided by the United States and Poland were used a cross-border raid in Russia. The Post verified the groups involved were armed with other NATO-provided equipment.

w/ @AlexHortonTX @John_Hudson @IKoshiw

washingtonpost.com/national-secur…
The two groups who publicized their involvement in the raid — The Legion of Free Russia and the Russian Volunteer Corps (RDK) — are composed of ethnic Russian fighters who oppose Putin. Some members are known to be Russian neo-Nazis or harbor other extreme views.
The groups offered conflicting accounts: The Legion of Free Russia said it employed a convoluted hack to get around limits on using Western equipment in Russia, using "trophies" that were once captured by Russia then retaken. But the RDK said no foreign equipment at all was used.

EXCLUSIVE: Videos and chat logs reveal Jack Teixeira’s preparations for a violent social conflict, racist thinking and deep suspicion of the government he served. w/ ⁦@shaneharris⁩ ⁦@chrisd9r⁩, video from ⁦@ntabrizy⁩ ⁦@JonGerberg⁩. washingtonpost.com/national-secur…
Teixeira, dressed in camouflage fatigues, his finger wrapped around the trigger of a semiautomatic rifle, faced the camera and spoke as though reciting an oath.

“Jews scam, n-----s rape, and I mag dump.”

Teixeira raised his weapon, aimed... and fired.

That video is among the newly published footage obtained by the Post, including videos taken at Teixeira's parents' home, and stills from a video recorded at the base where he served. We also obtained previously unreported Discord messages. Image

EXCLUSIVE: Satellite imagery and newly verified footage show packed crematoriums across China as covid surges — suggesting the country's death toll is far higher than the government says.

washingtonpost.com/investigations…
The @washingtonpost examined @Maxar satellite imagery taken of China since December, which showed an uptick in activity at funeral homes across six different cities.
At a funeral home on the outskirts of Beijing, a new parking lot appeared in the span of a day, quickly filling with vehicles.

Staff at the facility — many sick themselves — were working overtime to cremate an influx of bodies, according to a since-deleted state media report.
