...SANAA, YEMEN - AUGUST 1, 2025: Thousands of demonstrators gathered at Sabeen Square in Yemen’s capital, Sanaa, on Friday, August 1, to protest against Israel’s ongoing attacks on the Gaza Strip. During the protest which was held after Friday prayers, participants expressed support for the people of Gaza and condemned Israel’s bombardments and war policies. Gaza is enduring one of the worst humanitarian crises in its history, with famine compounding an ongoing genocidal war perpetrated by Israel since Oct. 7, 2023. Israel has fully closed all crossings into Gaza since March 2, 2025, blocking most food and medical supplies, which has exacerbated famine conditions. According to the latest figures from the Gaza Health Ministry, at least 154 Palestinians, including 89 children, have died due to starvation and malnutrition since the war began. Rejecting international calls for a ceasefire, the Israeli army has pursued genocide in Gaza since Oct. 7, 2023, killing more than 60,300 Palestinians, most of them women and children. The relentless bombardment has destroyed the enclave and led to food shortages. Last November, the International Criminal Court issued arrest warrants for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and his former Defense Minister Yoav Gallant for war crimes and crimes against humanity in Gaza. Israel also faces a genocide case at the International Court of Justice for its war on the enclave. Writing by Ayse Elif Erdis
