Electricity Ministry condemns Israeli enemy's targeting of Ras Katnib power station in Hodeida
The Ministry of Electricity, Energy, and Water, along with its affiliated institutions, renewed its condemnation of the ongoing Israeli aggression's targeting of civilian facilities and properties, the latest being the attack on the central power station in Ras Katnib, Hodeida province.
In a statement obtained by the Yemeni News Agency (Saba), the Ministry of Electricity and Water held the Zionist enemy fully responsible for deliberately targeting power stations, exacerbating the suffering of citizens in Hodeida, particularly amid rising summer temperatures.
The Ministry deemed the targeting of civilian properties a blatant violation of international law and its principles, which criminalize attacks on civilians and civilian infrastructure, particularly those outlined in the United Nations Charter, international humanitarian law, and human rights conventions.
It expressed dismay at the silence of the international community, global human rights organizations, and humanitarian groups regarding the Zionist enemy's continued attacks on civilian and service-related facilities essential to daily life. The statement called on the United Nations and the Security Council to condemn Israel's repeated aggression against civilians and civilian infrastructure in Yemen.
The statement affirmed that the Israeli aggression will only strengthen the Yemeni people's resilience, steadfastness, and determination to support the Palestinian people, their just cause, and their valiant resistance against the usurping Zionist enemy entity.

Egypt, UAE Coordinate to Supply 2 Million Gallons of Water Daily to Gaza Residents
The United Arab Emirates and Egypt are intensifying their humanitarian coordination to deliver 2 million gallons of potable water daily to residents of the Gaza Strip, as part of a broader joint relief effort, UAE Deputy Minister of Foreign Affairs for International Organizations Sultan Al Shamsi announced on Wednesday. Speaking during a live phone interview with Egypt's Sada El-Balad TV, Al Shamsi highlighted the ongoing water desalination efforts aimed at serving over one million Gazans. Plans are underway to expand the water supply line deeper into central Gaza. Al Shamsi revealed that 5,000 tons of Emirati aid are currently staged in El Arish, Egypt, awaiting entry into Gaza. Additionally, 143 trucks loaded with food supplies, medical equipment, and water are part of the relief convoy. 'Providing safe drinking water is our top priority in Gaza right now,' said Al Shamsi, underlining that access to clean water remains one of the most critical challenges in the besieged enclave. He also confirmed the presence of a floating Emirati hospital stationed in El Arish, as well as a field hospital inside Gaza, which have together supported the treatment of over 2,600 patients and companions from Gaza in the UAE. Al Shamsi addressed circulating reports about the closure of the Rafah border crossing, categorically denying them: 'I have seen with my own eyes that the crossing is open on the Egyptian side,' he stated. He also dismissed what he described as "rumors" intended to undermine relief operations, affirming that no misinformation campaign would halt the humanitarian support being provided by both Egypt and the UAE. 'Whatever is being said, we will continue our mission. Egypt and the UAE are committed to helping the Palestinian people,' he said. The Gaza Strip has been grappling with acute shortages in water, electricity, fuel, and medical supplies due to ongoing conflict and restricted access points. The UAE and Egypt's joint efforts are seen as a vital humanitarian lifeline, offering both immediate relief and infrastructure-based solutions.

28 Palestinians, including Children, starving Civilians, killed by Israeli Fire in Gaza since dawn
Gaza – SABA: At least 28 Palestinian civilians, including children and malnourished individuals, were killed and dozens more wounded in ongoing Israeli attacks across various areas of the Gaza Strip since early Thursday morning. According to medical, local, and media sources monitored by Yemen News Agency (SABA), most of the casualties occurred while victims were waiting for aid distribution, or were sheltering in tents and residential neighborhoods targeted by Israeli forces. The Al-Awda Hospital in central Gaza reported that the death toll there rose from 7 to 12, with 60 others injured, after Israeli forces attacked a crowd of starving civilians near an aid distribution point on Salah al-Din Street. In northern Gaza City, three people were killed and others injured in an airstrike targeting the Salfiti family apartment, which sparked a large fire. In Jabalia, at least one woman was killed and dozens injured, including children, in another airstrike on a residential home. At Al-Shifa Medical Complex, the body of another victim and several wounded people arrived after Israeli forces bombed Al-Karama neighborhood in northwest Gaza. In Deir al-Balah (central Gaza), five Palestinians were killed in a drone strike on a tent sheltering displaced people in the Al-Bassa area. In Khan Younis (south Gaza), a drone attack on a tent in the Al-Mawasi zone killed three Palestinians, including two children, and injured over 15 others. Another civilian was shot dead by a drone in Qizan an-Najjar, also in southern Khan Younis. Elsewhere in Al-Mawasi's Bir 19 area, two more children were killed when a tent housing displaced families was shelled. Backed by U.S. and European support, Israel's military campaign in Gaza, ongoing since October 7, 2023, has resulted in the deaths of 60,249 Palestinians, most of them women and children, and injured 147,089 others, according to Thursday's figures. Thousands more remain buried under rubble or stranded, with emergency and rescue teams unable to reach them. Whatsapp Telegram Email Print more of (International)

Hamas Official: Wittekof's visit to Gaza is propaganda to contain rising anger
Gaza – Saba: Izzat al-Rishq, a member of the Political Bureau of the Islamic Resistance Movement (Hamas), described the visit of U.S. Special Envoy Wittekof to the Gaza Strip on Thursday as a "propaganda display" aimed at containing escalating anger over the American-"Israeli" partnership in starving the Palestinian people in the Strip. In a press statement received by the Yemeni News Agency (SABA), al-Rishq said, "Wittekof sees in Gaza only what the Zionist enemy wants him to see, and he views the ongoing tragedy through misleading Israeli eyes." He added, "He certainly will not witness the operation of the 'starvation guillotine,' misleadingly called the 'Gaza Humanitarian Foundation,' or how it prepares the stage for killing by the Zionist war machine." Al-Rishq emphasized that the White House's acknowledgment of the "Gaza famine" after denying it—without condemning the Israeli enemy responsible—means absolving the perpetrator and providing political cover for the continuation of the gravest crime in modern history.
