On Friday morning, Yemenis flooded dozens of squares and streets across the provinces of Saada, Rayma, Marib, and several districts in Amran, Ibb, Taiz, Hajjah, Dhamar, and al-Mahwit, in the 47th million-man march in solidarity with Gaza since "Israel" launched its devastating genocide in the Strip.

Under the banner "Our support for Gaza and Al-Aqsa... Responsibility and Struggle," the demonstrations included over 330 squares.

The "Support for Al-Aqsa" Committee has designated al-Sabeen Square in Sanaa and over 330 other central and local squares across 14 Yemeni provinces for gathering in support of the Palestinian people and endorsing the operations of the Yemeni Armed Forces aiding Gaza.

On Thursday, the leader of the Yemeni Ansar Allah movement, Sayyed Abdul-Malik al-Houthi, explained that the Yemeni people's stance in support of Gaza activity continues despite heavy rainfall, which is a testament to the loyalty, sincerity, steadfastness, and strong values of the Yemeni people.

He highlighted that 361 locations in Yemen saw rallies and events in support of Gaza, adding that even the wounded were taking part in these activities, with some moving in their wheelchairs through the floods and others using crutches to make their way.

"We aim to reach a level that allows us to be more effective and impactful in targeting the Israeli enemy and supporting Palestine," the Ansar Allah leader indicated.
