YSA denounces silence on Gaza, backs regional resistance
Sana'a - Saba: The Yemeni Scholars Association on Thursday issued a strong condemnation of the sanctity and reprehensibility of silence regarding the ongoing crimes, starvation, thirst, and genocide in Gaza. In a statement, the YSA asserted that the religious obligation to support Gaza intensifies with every new casualty and every day that passes, despite the inaction of numerous Muslim nations and regimes. The YSA declared that there is no excuse for leaders, armies, and peoples across the Muslim world to refrain from "jihadist movement" to aid the oppressed, deliver humanitarian supplies, and stand with the just Palestinian cause, which it described as "the epitome of truth and a distinguishing mark between faith and hypocrisy." Furthermore, the statement expressed absolute support for the Yemeni Armed Forces' "great jihadist operations" and the leadership's "firm and principled decision" to back Gaza. The YSA's statement noted that these operations cause "great concern to the Zionists and protect the Yemeni people from divine wrath that will befall those who remain indifferent. The Yemeni Scholars Association also extended its warning to the Syrian and Lebanese people, urging them to recognize the Zionist threat and direct their animosity towards it before it consolidates its occupation and expands its ambitions. In this context, the YSA deemed the preservation of Hezbollah's weapons a "religious and humanitarian duty. Addressing recent escalations and threats against the Islamic Republic of Iran, the association affirmed its solidarity and support for Iran's right to respond to any aggression. It called upon Islamic regimes and peoples to stand with Iran against any escalation, considering such solidarity an act of faith. The statement concluded by emphasizing that adherence to Islam and the Quran necessitates all Islamic nations to hasten their support for Gaza, stand in solidarity with Iran, Syria, Lebanon, and Hezbollah against any aggression or conspiracy, and resist American and Western threats. The association explicitly stated that no cooperation or participation in aggression against Iran is permissible, and that Iran possesses the legitimate right to defend itself and target American bases in the region if attacked.

BTW student secures funding for healthy food initiative in Shreveport
SHREVEPORT, La. (KTAL/KMSS) – A Shreveport high schooler secured funding through a global food service company grant to help her community learn to reduce food waste and develop healthier eating habits. The grant was awarded through the Stop Hunger Foundation's YSA (Youth Service America) program, which was created by Sodexo food service. YSA funds support youth-led projects aimed at ending childhood hunger in local communities and were awarded to Aniyah Blunt, a student at Booker T. Washington High School. Dr. Sharon F. Green of Oasis of Hope, Louisiana, said, 'Our youth are visionaries. Aniyah is a shining example of how young leaders can use their voice, creativity, and heart to impact families and communities. More Local News The teen's project aims to help local families understand the importance of minimizing food waste and prepare meals efficiently using healthy and tasty recipes. She said she wants to be proactive about helping her peers make better food choices because she sees them increasingly being diagnosed with diabetes and other preventable health issues that are directly related to poor eating habits. Through the initiative, Aniyah gets to lead by example as young participants in the GEMS (Girls Empowered for More Society) program join Southern University Shreveport Students, and Oasis of Hope Louisiana for an afternoon of service on Good Friday. The youth will serve seniors at the Martin Luther King Community Center after assisting chefs who will prepare the meals. The learning- and service-centered event brings together community members, students, and local leaders for a celebration of fellowship. The Good Friday MLK Luncheon affirms the shared mission of all involved to uplift youth and build stronger, healthier communities.
