The Sanaa demonstration was described as millions (Reuters)
Today, Friday, demonstrations took place in Iraq, Jordan, and Yemen in support of the Gaza Strip, which has been subjected to continuous Israeli aggression since last October 7, which has so far led to the fall of about 33,000 martyrs, most of whom are women and children.
The Yemeni capital, Sanaa, witnessed a million-man demonstration during which the demonstrators chanted slogans demanding a ceasefire and allowing the entry of food supplies and humanitarian aid to the residents of the Strip. They also expressed their absolute support for the Palestinian resistance factions.
The city of Taiz, in turn, witnessed a demonstration that took place after Friday prayers, in which participants chanted slogans calling on the international community to support Gaza, stop the Israeli massacres, lift the siege, and allow humanitarian aid to enter the Strip.
The demonstrators also called on the United Nations and the UN Security Council to work to implement international resolutions regarding stopping the Israeli war on Gaza.
