🚨 Across cities in Yemen, and despite the bombing that targeted a number of Yemeni cities moments ago, millions came out across cities to march under the title "With Gaza...Developing Capabilities and Escalating Operations" in the 34th week of continuous protests.
In the city of Sa'ada alone, 21 different large-scale marches took place. Sana'a's turnout was massive as usual. The protest in Sana'a saw visitors from various countries, and a man even donated his personal car to the Missile Unit of the Yemeni Armed Forces in appreciation for their escalating operations (Media 8).
In Sana'a, banners of the heroic martyred Egyptian soldiers who rose for Palestine were raised: Mohammed Salah, Abdullah Ramadan, and Islam Abdel Razeq (Media 1).
The statement of the marches started by condemning the escalation of zionist crimes against Gaza and the desecration of Al-Aqsa Mosque. They affirmed their full support for the resistance in Palestine, Lebanon, and Iraq, expressing pride in their own Armed Forces operations, capabilities, development, and escalation.
They congratulated the unprecedented joint Yemeni-Iraqi operations targeting occupied Haifa, and called on the negligent and complicit normalizing Arab regimes to review their positions.
They highlighted awareness against American, British, and zionist conspiracies to target their people militarily, economically, politically, or in the media. They warned that they will not stand by if the enemy's local and regional tools escalate their steps against Yemen. Lastly, they reiterated the call for a boycott of American and "israeli" products.

*An urgent call to the International community by the families of* *Palestinian prisoners of war in Israeli occupation prisons*
We, the families of Palestinian male and female political prisoners in Israeli occupation prisons, call upon the legal and humanitarian organizations of the international community to urgently act to protect our kin held in Israeli occupation prisons through:
1. Urgently establishing an international legal committee to visit male and female Palestinian prisoners in occupation prisons, in order to investigate the circumstances they live under, whereas there is a number who have been incarcerated for more than 35 years.
2. We call upon the International Red Cross to commit to its legal and humanitarian responsibilities in regard to the crimes and infringements committed against the rights of Palestinian prisoners and visitations and to work on allowing their families visitations to check on them.
3. Urgent action by international organizations to pressure occupation authorities to seize the policy of starvation intended to kill Palestinian male and female prisoners.
4. Declaring the practices of the Israeli Prisons Administration against prisoners as war crimes intended to kill prisoners.
5. Forming an international pressure lobby to follow on the circumstances of Palestinian prisoner life in Israeli occupation prisons.
6. Taking political steps by the international community through its embassies in Israel to follow up on the case of Palestinian prisoners and their right to visitation, to work to better the circumstances of their life and to provide the minimum requirements to treatment of prisoners as per the standards of international law.
Our demands of the international community are just and humanitarian demands as we ask for the protection of our kin’s life until their freedom. We haven’t been able to communicate with them since the start of war, and no international party has engaged in their case. Their number today is higher than 9300 prisoners of war, without counting those arrested in Gaza who are believed to be in the thousands and who are subjected to the policy of forced disappearance in camps.
At the time when many international political leaders and organizations have taken positions on the Israeli prisoners, without comparison with our prisoners who were fighting for freedom, but to remind the world that the case of Palestinian prisoners has been ongoing for many decades; since the start of occupation and before. Despite that, this world insists on ignoring their case and the systematic torture they are subjected to, which has escalated in a terrifying manner since the start of this war in October of last year.
Since the start of this war, the number announced by the occupation, 18 prisoners have been martyred in occupation prisons and camps. This is without the tens of Gazans arrested and martyred, and who the occupation refuses to identify them or the circumstances of their martyrdom.
In addition to the above, more than 3400 Palestinian prisoners are under administrative detention under the pretext of what is called the “secret file,” many of whom are women and children. In accordance with the expert organizations, this number has never occurred in history.
The authorities of the Israeli Prisons Administration have committed horrific crimes against our prisoners and have broken all international charters, in order to kill and dehumanize them, in accordance with dozens of testimonies by prisoners who have been released after completing their terms as well as by legal teams.
*The Palestinian male and female prisoners are facing today unprecedented systematic crimes which affect their destiny, rights and dignity through a series of dangerous systematic policies inflicted by the Israeli Prisons Administration, including:*

*The Palestinian male and female prisoners are facing today unprecedented systematic crimes which affect their destiny, rights and dignity through a series of dangerous systematic policies inflicted by the Israeli Prisons Administration, including:*
1.
The occupation using the policy of starvation and denying prisoners nutritious meals or by providing small unhealthy meals that are not sufficient and which lay exposed to sunlight and dust for many hours until it is spoiled before it is delivered for consumption. The provided spoiled meals contain no salts or sugars, which has caused fatigue including to the sick and children, who no longer are able to move within the cells. Some of them have suffered loss of consciousness on numerous occasions. Those who have been released had lost weight to appear close to skeletons due to this policy.
2. The systematic policy of physical and psychological torture endured by the prisoner from the moment of arrest, during interrogation and through the beatings and insults to dehumanize them during invasion of cells, in addition to the insulting strip searches inside cells or during relocating prisoners from one cell or section to another and until their release. Torture has been the main cause of prisoner martyrdom since the start of war and throughout the past decades.
3. Deprivation of means to maintain cleanliness whereas water is provided only two hours a day, prisoners are only allowed to shower once a week for five minutes per prisoner and detergents, such as soap and shampoo, are not provided, which has caused dermal injuries that are contagious and painful, such as Scabies.
4. Overpopulating cells, whereas cells that are designed for six prisoners only are occupied by 12 to 16 prisoners. Electricity is cut off during the day which prohibits the airing of the cell through fans. Electricity is only provided between the hours of 11:00PM until 06:00am. The cells lack enough mattresses and covers to allow all prisoners to sleep.
5. Medical crimes through lack of the minimum requirement of treatment and follow up.
6. Restriction of work for legal teams and prohibiting some from prisoner visitation. Prohibition of meeting the lawyer especially during the first stage of incarceration which is the most important phase in the destiny of a prisoner’s case.
7. Confiscation of all personal belongings of prisoners such as clothes and books and total isolation from the outside world after the confiscation of televisions and radios. Many prisoners have not been able to change their clothes or wash them for several months.
8. During the transportation from one section to another, the occupation forces fired rubber bullets at the prisoners.
9. Prisoners are not allowed to go out to the yard, but for one hour a day. Most days the “short break” is cancelled for unknown reasons.
*Under aforementioned circumstances we renew our demands of the international community to protect our kin and to stop the horrific crimes committed again them*
*The families of the Palestinian prisoners of war in the prisons of the Israeli occupation*

The New York Times featured a story about how the Israeli Occupation is using rape as weapon of war during their ongoing genocide on Gaza, burying the information at the very bottom of one of their articles as if these horrific crimes are some kind of footnote to go unmentioned in the headline or subheadline.
