More than 100 pro-Palestine demonstrations held across Yemen

SANAA, Yemen

Demonstrations were organized in more than 100 different locations in Yemen on Friday to protest Israeli attacks on the Gaza Strip and show solidarity with Palestinians, according to the Houthi-affiliated SABA news agency

Thousands gathered in the national capital of Sana'a in solidarity with Palestinians and the Palestinian cause.

There were 21 pro-Palestine demonstrations in Saada, 25 in Al-Mahwit, 22 in Raymah, 25 in Hodeidah and 22 in Ibb.

Demonstrators carried Palestinian flags and protested Israel's attacks.

The protesters chanted anti-Israeli slogans and expressed support for Palestinians in Gaza.

Israel has continued its brutal offensive on Gaza since an attack by the Palestinian resistance group, Hamas, on Oct. 7, despite a UN Security Council resolution demanding an immediate cease-fire.

More than 36,700 Palestinians have since been killed in Gaza, most of them women and children, and over 83,500 others injured, according to local health authorities.

Eight months into the Israeli war, vast tracts of Gaza lay in ruins amid a crippling blockade of food, clean water and medicine.

Israel is accused of genocide at the International Court of Justice, whose latest ruling ordered Tel Aviv to immediately halt its operation in the southern city of Rafah, where more than 1 million Palestinians had sought refuge from the war before it was invaded on May 6.
