Gaza: Occupier turns aid distribution centers into collective death snares
Gaza - Saba:
The Government Media Office in the Gaza Strip said on Tuesday that the Israeli enemy had turned "US-Israeli aid distribution centers" into mass death traps and bloodbaths.
In a statement received by the Yemeni News Agency (Saba), the office confirmed that this had led to the death toll from starvation rising to 102 martyrs and 490 wounded in just eight days.
It reported that in a horrific, intentionally repeated crime, Israeli enemy forces committed a new massacre on Tuesday near the US-Israeli aid center in Rafah Governorate, resulting in the deaths of 27 starving civilians and the wounding of more than 90 others with varying degrees of injury.
The Office pointed out that this massacre brought the death toll at these "centers" to 102 martyrs and 490 wounded since they began operating in the Rafah and Wadi Gaza Bridge areas on May 27. This is part of a dubious project run under the supervision of the "Israeli" enemy and promoted under the guise of a "humanitarian response," while killing is being carried out in public and on live television, and systematic genocide is being perpetrated.
The Office emphasized that the so-called "aid distribution centers," which are established in exposed and dangerous red zones under the control of the enemy army, have turned into mass bloodbaths, luring starving civilians to them due to the crippling famine and the tight siege. They are then deliberately and coldly shot, in a scene that epitomizes the malice of the project and exposes its true objectives.
It pointed out that these points are not subject to any independent humanitarian oversight, but are security-managed by the "Israeli" enemy and an American security company, making them killing points under a false humanitarian cover. International law classifies them as sites of war crimes and crimes against humanity.
The Government Media Office condemned, in the strongest terms, the perpetration of these massacres against starving civilians, holding the Israeli enemy fully responsible for these ongoing massacres carried out under the guise of "aid."
It also held the US administration, which politically and on the ground supports this bloody project, directly responsible for the use of food as a weapon in the ongoing genocide in Gaza.
The Office pointed out that the daily recurrence of massacres at distribution centers, in broad daylight, and with shocking numbers of martyrs and wounded, reveals to the world that what is happening is the deliberate use of aid as a tool for mass murder and ethnic cleansing, which amounts to the crime of genocide under Article II of the 1948 Genocide Convention.
The Office called on the United Nations, the Security Council, and human rights organizations to assume their moral and legal responsibilities, take immediate action, and exert pressure by all available means to open official crossings without interference or conditions from the Israeli enemy. It also called for the delivery of humanitarian aid through UN institutions and neutral international organizations, far removed from this murderous "Israeli"-American model.
The Office called for the urgent formation of an independent international investigation committee to document these massacres and bring their perpetrators to international justice, warning against the consequences of international silence, which gives the green light to further massacres.
The Office affirmed its categorical rejection of the so-called "buffer zones" or "humanitarian corridors" established by the enemy, considering these projects to be bloody traps aimed at gathering civilians in mass killing points, then shooting them daily and killing them without warning and in complete disregard for the most basic principles of international humanitarian law.
It stated that the continuation of these crimes, amid shameful international silence, is a stain on humanity and proves that the enemy continues to commit the most heinous forms of genocide before the world's cameras, without deterrence or accountability.

Farih: Its veto against genocide proves US involvement in killing Gaza people
Sana'a - Saba: Ansar Allah Political Bureau member Mohammed Al-Farih stressed that the United States' use of its veto against the Security Council resolution calling for an end to the genocide in Gaza, the lifting of restrictions on aid, and the lifting of the blockade proves once again that it is a key partner in the killing and criminality, a supporter of the blockade and genocide in Gaza, and a shield protecting the criminal enemy entity. In a statement to the Yemeni News Agency (Saba), Al-Farih explained that America thus reveals its true face, which hides behind slogans of freedom, rights, and justice. He pointed out that the American role, which provides political and diplomatic support, grants Israel legal cover, and legitimizes the enemy's continued crimes, is merely a complement to its military role, which supports Israel with all types of lethal weapons and supplies it with highly destructive bombs. Were it not for its continued support, the crimes would have ceased. The member of the Ansar Allah Political Bureau also emphasized that the Security Council's failure to stop this ongoing crime for nearly two years proves its abdication of the minimum values of justice and security. He emphasized that it is nothing more than a platform for promoting American policies, dividing influence and interests, legitimizing crime and the blockade, and a tool for protecting criminals. "Hence, it is important for the people of our nation to realize that liberation from Zionist injustice and criminality and freedom from American hegemony cannot be achieved through these institutions, which watch the largest mass killing by gunfire and blockade without taking action," he said. "Salvation does not come by waiting for the decisions of these institutions or by condemning them, but rather by assuming responsibility, taking practical positions, standing firmly alongside our brothers in Gaza, and dealing with the Americans and Israelis as enemies, with all the consequences," Farih added.

UN demands Yemen's Houthis release aid workers held for year
The UN on Wednesday issued a new call for Yemen's Houthi rebels to release dozens of aid workers a year after their arrest by the group. The Iran-backed rebels, who control much of Yemen, detained 13 UN staff members, and more than 50 employees of aid groups last June. Between January 23-25 this year, the Houthis carried out another wave of arrests, detaining an additional eight UN staff members. Others have been detained since 2021, according to the UN. Two have died while in detention, one of them a Save the Children staff member and another an employee of the World Food Programme. 'As of today, 23 UN and five international non-governmental organisation personnel remain arbitrarily detained. Tragically, one UN staff member and another from Save the Children have died in detention,' said a statement signed by the UN other top aid groups. 'Others have lost loved ones while being held, denied the chance to attend their funerals or say goodbye,' it added. The statement said those detained have spent 'at least 365 days – and for some, over 1,000 days, isolated from their families, children, husbands, and wives, in flagrant breach of international law.' 'We call on the de facto authorities to deliver on their previous commitments, including those made to the director general of the World Health Organisation during his mission to Sanaa in December 2024,' it said. The UN and international NGOs will continue to work through all possible channels to secure the safe and immediate release of those arbitrarily detained, it added. UN Secretary General Antonio Guterres on Tuesday said those detained should have never been attacked by the rebels. 'I renew my call for their immediate and unconditional release,' Mr Guterres said. 'The UN and its humanitarian partners should never be targeted, arrested or detained while carrying out their mandates for the benefit of the people they serve,' he said. Since the arrests were made, the UN has limited its deployments and suspended activities in parts of the country. At the time of the arrests, the Houthis said an 'American-Israeli spy cell' was operating under the cover of aid groups, an accusation firmly rejected by the UN. Mr Guterres also lamented the 'deplorable tragedy' of the death in detention of a World Food Programme staffer in February. At the time, WFP executive director Cindy McCain said the worker who died in detention was named Ahmed and that he was a 'devoted humanitarian and father of two' who had helped deliver life-saving food assistance. He had been working for the agency since 2017, according to the agency. He was one of seven staffers detained by the Houthi rebels on January 23 this year. Mrs McCain said she was 'heartbroken and outraged by the tragic loss'. In October 2023, Save the Children confirmed the death of a staff member who died in detention in Yemen and called for an immediate independent investigation. Safety and security director Hisham Al Hakimi was detained on 9 September while off duty. He died a month and a half later. Mr Al Hakimi, aged 44 and a husband and father of four, was a dedicated member of the Save the Children family since 2006, the organisation said.
