The leader of Yemen's Ansar Allah movement, Sayyed Abdul-Malik al-Houthi, condemned Sunday the inaction of the Arab and Islamic nations amid the humanitarian catastrophe unfolding in Gaza.

Speaking during a televised address, Sayyed al-Houthi stressed that the collective failure to support Palestinians in the besieged enclave carries dire consequences both in this world and the hereafter.

“The nation is witnessing the scale of the tragedy and injustice in Gaza,” he said. “To watch and abandon responsibility is a grave danger to the Ummah.”

Sayyed al-Houthi underscored the immense suffering in Gaza, where hundreds of thousands are enduring severe hunger and brutal siege conditions, noting, “The people of Gaza are starving, surrounded by hundreds of millions of Arabs and over two billion Muslims who merely watch and stand idle.”

Yemen fully committed to supporting Palestine

Reaffirming Yemen’s position, Sayyed al-Houthi declared that his country remains firmly committed to supporting the Palestinian cause. “We are continuing in our stance of confronting American and Israeli tyranny,” he stated.

He added that Yemen will persist in its multidimensional support for Gaza, through military operations, popular mobilization, and comprehensive resistance efforts.

His remarks come as the Israeli occupation continues its genocidal war on Gaza, marked by a deliberate starvation campaign and relentless blockade. According to Gaza health authorities, numerous civilians, including children, have died from malnutrition and hunger-related illnesses in recent days.

'Israel' starving Gaza, UNRWA says

The United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees (UNRWA) has called for the immediate lifting of the blockade on the Gaza Strip, warning of a deepening famine and the starvation of civilians, including approximately one million children.

In a statement issued Sunday, UNRWA urged international intervention to allow food and medical aid into the Gaza Strip. The agency accused the Israeli occupation authorities of "starving civilians in Gaza," calling the situation a direct threat to life for the enclave’s population.

The humanitarian crisis in Gaza continues to escalate as the Ministry of Health reported the death of Razan Abu Zaher, an infant who died from severe malnutrition and a lack of milk. Her death brings the number of children who died from hunger-related causes brought on by "Israel's" blockade in the past 24 hours to four.

According to the ministry, the Gaza Strip is now facing a state of "actual famine," driven by a critical shortage of food and the outbreak of acute malnutrition.

Gaza MoH issues warning: Starved Palestinians face imminent death

The Palestinian Ministry of Health in Gaza issued a stark warning on Saturday, reporting an unprecedented surge in civilians, including children, women, and the elderly, arriving at emergency departments in critical condition due to extreme hunger and exhaustion.

According to the ministry, hundreds of individuals are on the brink of death, their bodies severely emaciated after surpassing the limits of physical survival. “Emergency departments are witnessing an unprecedented influx of starving civilians of all ages, arriving in severe states of exhaustion and fatigue,” the ministry said in a statement.

It cautioned that if the complete blockade on food and aid continues, many of those suffering from severe malnutrition could die within days, marking a catastrophic turning point in the humanitarian crisis.

The warning comes as "Israel’s" months-long siege continues to prevent adequate food and humanitarian relief from entering the Gaza Strip. UN agencies and health officials have repeatedly warned that famine is no longer a threat, but a reality for many in the enclave.
