Children in Marib, northeastern Yemen, held a solidarity protest on Monday, October 7th, 2024, expressing their support for Palestinian children in Gaza. The young demonstrators carried signs condemning Israeli actions and demanding that international law and human rights be upheld.
A statement released by the children, obtained by Barran Press, called on the United Nations to fulfill its humanitarian responsibilities toward the children of Gaza and to condemn the Israeli military's actions in the ongoing conflict. The children specifically voiced their support for UNRWA, urging the agency's return to fieldwork in Gaza and continued humanitarian assistance.
Following the protest, the children marched to the local office of the United Nations representative. This event is one of many solidarity actions across Yemen marking the anniversary of the Israeli offensive on Gaza.
