Yemen's Saada demonstrations renewed, on Friday, continued support for the Yemeni armed forces' efforts in supporting the Palestinian Resistance in Gaza.

The concluding statement of the demonstrations commended the dedication to persist in these actions, standing by "our people in Palestine until the Israeli aggression against Gaza ceases."

The statement also applauded the enacting of a law that "banned and criminalized recognition of the Israeli occupation entity and normalization with it".

"American and Israeli threats against the Yemeni people do not intimidate us," the statement added.

During the demonstrations, the remarks made by the US State Department have been criticized for "justifying Zionist crimes against the Palestinian people."

It is worth noting that the massive marches on Friday were held under the title "Continuing Support for Gaza and Readiness for All Options."

Marches were held by Yemeni children, on Thursday, in the capital Sanaa, led by the children of those killed in the Saudi-led coalition's war on Yemen, expressing support for Palestine and condemning the Israeli occupation's massacres against Gaza's children.

The children emphasized that what is happening in Palestine is a vivid reflection of the killing and genocide that occurred in Yemen.

Catherine Russell, the Executive Director of the United Nations Children's Fund (UNICEF), expressed, on November 22, that Gaza is "the most dangerous place in the world to be a child."

In a statement, Russell revealed that the situation "does not have to be this way" since the truce allowed children to have a "glimmer of hope" amid the "horrific nightmare", adding that the truce allowed for lifesaving supplies to enter the Strip.

"We call on all parties to ensure that children are protected and assisted, in accordance with their obligations under international humanitarian law," the official expressed.
