Sana'a – Saba:
From the students of Yemen to the children of Gaza: an unbreakable pledge and loyalty until victory.
This was the message conveyed by the massive student marches held in the capital Sana'a and various other governorates, in solidarity with the children of Gaza and in condemnation of the killing and starvation they face at the hands of the Zionist criminals, backed by the U.S. , amidst disgraceful Arab and Islamic inaction.
The student demonstrations renewed their pledge to stand with the children of Gaza and Palestine against the Zionist arrogance and criminality that has exceeded all limits. They denounced the shameful silence and betrayal by Arab and Islamic nations regarding the daily massacres, genocide, starvation, thirst, and siege imposed on Gaza's children.
Yemeni students emphasized that their participation stems from religious, humanitarian, and moral responsibility to support the children of Gaza and Palestine, express solidarity with them, and denounce the brutal Zionist crimes. They reaffirmed to their brothers , sisters in Gaza and all of Palestine that they are not alone—that God is with them, and so is the Yemeni people and all the free people of the world, in word and deed, until victory.
Through their widespread presence, they expressed their deep empathy with the children of Gaza and awareness of their immense suffering due to the brutal crimes targeting childhood itself with starvation and thirst unto death. The enemy takes pleasure in their pain and the catastrophic conditions they are enduring, which would melt hearts and move even stones to tears.
These student crowds marched to express the deep pain felt by all Yemenis, young and old, as they witness Gaza’s children starving to death, many breathing their last under the weight of hunger and deprivation, their frail bodies wasting away and losing hope in any Arab or Islamic move to save or help them.
The children of Yemen delivered their message to the world and international organizations about the genocide and systematic starvation facing Gaza’s children—under the watch of a 2-billion-strong Muslim nation and a hypocritical global community that has failed to lift the Zionist blockade on Gaza. It’s as if there is no longer any sense of responsibility, or that humanity itself has lost all meaning.
They also raised a cry of outrage, hoping to awaken the sleeping conscience of the world and remind the international community that killing children—whether by bombing or starvation—is a war crime and genocide, requiring the urgent prosecution of the Zionist war criminals responsible.
As part of Yemen's great and principled stance on Gaza, the student marches added further momentum to this genuine position—rooted in faith, Yemeni identity, wisdom, honor, and moral responsibility towards the oppressed Palestinian people, who are suffering simply for refusing to surrender to the enemy and continuing their legitimate struggle to reclaim their stolen land and right to live in freedom.
Statements issued by the student marches affirmed that the primary victims and face of the Palestinian tragedy in Gaza are the children. Over 100,000 children are at risk of dying from starvation, including 40,000 infants. This reflects both the extent of the Palestinian suffering and the sheer brutality and savagery of the Zionist aggression against Gaza.
The statements noted that starvation-related deaths are occurring daily, the tragedy and oppression of the Palestinian people are comprehensive. Alongside starvation crimes, the Israeli enemy continues its genocide through killings, airstrikes, artillery shelling, snipers, every method of murder and deception to further annihilate and starve the people of Gaza—while the whole world witnesses the tragedy unfold.
Yemeni students stressed that the Palestinian tragedy is no longer hidden from anyone in the world. They strongly condemned the continued practice of genocide, starvation, and systematic displacement by the Zionist-American enemy against the children, women, and innocent civilians of Gaza—under the watch of a complicit and disgracefully silent international community.
The statements called on students in schools, universities, and educational institutions across the Arab world , beyond to break the silence and confront the crimes committed by the American-Israeli enemy against the children , women of Gaza and Palestine.
They added: "With deep pain and sorrow, we say to our Arab and Islamic nations: you are held accountable before God Almighty and before every orphaned child, grieving mother, displaced , wounded person, and every victim of starvation. No one is exempt from responsibility for this ongoing bloodshed. Everyone must act within their capacity and influence."
The students also welcomed the Armed Forces’ decision to activate the fourth phase of operations, considering it a reflection of the pain and anger felt by the Yemeni people. They called on the Mujahideen of the Armed Forces to implement it without mercy toward any company affiliated with any inhumane state still supporting the ugliest criminals of this era—the Zionists.
The statements urged everyone to actively participate in the religious, cultural, and social events marking the Prophet’s Birthday, emulating the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him and his family) as a way of life and the greatest blessing bestowed upon humanity.
Finally, the students of Yemen reaffirmed their commitment to continuing activities—events, vigils, evening programs, and school campaigns—in support of truth, solidarity with their brothers in proud Gaza and the oppressed Palestinian people, and as a way to expose and resist the crimes of the American-Zionist enemy. This, they emphasized, is the least they can do.
