Hodeida governorate on Friday witnessed massive popular marches in 221 squares across its cities and rural areas, demonstrating unwavering public mobilization and escalation in support of the Palestinian people under the slogan "We will continue to support Gaza and holy sites, regardless of the challenges."
Huge crowds, including governor Abdullah Atifi and other senior officials, gathered, reflecting widespread national awareness and growing momentum in solidarity with the revolutionary leadership and readiness for the battle to defend national sovereignty.
Participants proudly waved Palestinian and Yemeni flags, chanting slogans condemning the Zionist aggression against Gaza, Yemen, and Tehran, while affirming their full readiness for jihad on the front lines.
The participants emphasized that the Yemeni Armed Forces' military operations against the Zionist entity represent the highest form of loyalty to the Palestinian cause and demonstrate a unified will against projects of hegemony.
They highlighted recent massacres at relief sites as proof of the enemy's use of hunger as a weapon and its exploitation of aid operations to liquidate civilians, revealing a comprehensive genocide plan backed by international silence and Arab complicity.
The marches underscored that the aggression against Yemen and Palestine are intrinsically linked, and the ongoing steadfastness marks a crucial turning point between submission and freedom.
The participants expressed pride in the deterrent equations imposed by the Yemeni Armed Forces, which have confounded the enemy's calculations, including naval and air blockades and direct threats to vital sites.
They renewed their absolute mandate to the Leader of the Revolution to make decisions supporting the Palestinian people and continuing military escalation, condemning the Zionist aggression against Iran as an attempt to halt support for Palestine. This escalation, they stressed, will not break Tehran's will but will strengthen regional peoples' faith in the unity of the battle and the clarity of the enemy.
Coinciding with the Day of al-Wilayah, these marches also represented a renewal of loyalty to Prophet Muhammad, Imam Ali, and the beacons of guidance, with the people of Yemen affirming their commitment to the battle of liberation and confrontation.
Hodeida marches' statement detailed Gaza's dire humanitarian conditions and ongoing massacres, stressing the imperative for continued support for Palestinians.
It warned of divine punishment for those who fail to support the oppressed, citing Quranic verses.
The statement praised the recent successful naval blockade-breaking strikes by the Yemeni Armed Forces, urging a collective stand to avoid historical shame.

World Elders Council: Israel deliberately blocking aid from entering Gaza
London - Saba: The World Elders Council, which includes prominent world leaders, confirmed that Israel is deliberately blocking aid from entering the Gaza Strip, warning that the Strip faces the risk of genocide as a result of obstructing the entry of humanitarian aid, which is exacerbating the famine crisis. The group said in a statement on Tuesday that a delegation from the group visited the border crossings with Egypt and witnessed firsthand the deliberate prevention of life-saving aid from entering the Strip, according to Quds Press. Former New Zealand Prime Minister Helen Clark explained after visiting Rafah crossing that "many mothers are unable to provide food for themselves or their newborns, in light of the collapse of the health system," calling on Israel to open the crossing urgently. The statement indicated that the delegation saw evidence of the prevention of food and medical aid from entering and heard testimonies of the killing of Palestinian civilians, including children, while trying to obtain aid inside Gaza. The London-based council, founded by former South African President Nelson Mandela in 2007, called for the recognition of the State of Palestine, an immediate suspension of arms transfers and their components to Israel, and the imposition of sanctions on Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, a war criminal wanted by the International Criminal Court. The statement emphasized that recognition of the State of Palestine "will not alone be sufficient to halt the impending genocide and famine" in the Gaza Strip.

Yemen bans use of foreign currency in local trade
Yemen's internationally-recognized government announced on Tuesday that all commercial transactions within areas under its control must be conducted using the Yemeni rial, prohibiting the use of foreign currencies for domestic trade and services. According to the state-run Saba news agency, the decision prohibits foreign currency use in transactions like tuition fees, medical expenses, rent and travel tickets, where foreign payment is not inherently required, reports citing foreign media. Ministers and provincial governors are tasked with enforcing the ban and reporting progress to the prime minister on a regular basis, Saba reported. This measure aims to strengthen the rial's sovereignty and stability. Currency traders in Aden told Xinhua that the rial surged to 1,617 per US dollar in government-controlled areas on Monday, a 40-percent recovery from nearly 2,900 weeks earlier. Yemen faces an unprecedented financial crisis after more than two years without oil revenue, which constitutes 70 percent of government income. The crisis deepened following Houthi attacks on oil export facilities in southern Yemen in late 2022, and amid the prolonged conflict since 2014. The war-torn Arab nation remains divided between the internationally-recognised government based in Aden and the Houthis that control the capital Sanaa and northern regions.
