Massive rallies were launched on Friday afternoon in the Yemeni capital, Sanaa, and in Rabat, the capital of Morocco, in solidarity with the war-torn Gaza Strip.
Sanaa witnessed the 39th one-million-people rally since the beginning of the war on the Gaza Strip on October 7, 2023.
More than a million Yemenis participated in the Al-Sabin Square, in solidarity with and support for the Palestinian people in the face of the genocide war that the Israeli occupation army has been carrying out in the Gaza Strip.
The one-million-people march kicked off after hundreds of thousands of people performed the Friday prayer in the Al-Sabin square, the largest square in Sanaa.
More than 23 massive rallies roamed the streets and squares of Sanaa’s various directorates, after the Friday prayer, in solidarity and support for the Palestinian people in the Gaza Strip.
The Yemeni forces, who organized the marches, announced the continuation of mass activities in support for the steadfastness of the Palestinian people and in rejection of the Israeli aggression and blockade in the Gaza Strip.
Rallies also were launched on Friday in the governorates of Al-Hudaydah, Dhamar, Ibb, Amran, Taiz, Hajjah, Saada, Raymah, Ma’rib, Al-Jawf, Al-Dhale, Lahij, Al-Mahawiti and Al-Bayda.
The participants in all marches affirmed the continuation of the Yemeni support for the Palestinian people, raising the slogan: “Our battle continues until Gaza’s victory.”
In a similar context, thousands of Moroccans took to the streets in several cities after the Friday prayer in solidarity with Palestine and the Gaza Strip which has been subjected to an ongoing devastating Israeli war for 10 months, and has lost tens of thousands of martyrs.
The Moroccan protesters launched several sit-ins under the slogan “The Palestinian keffiyeh is the symbol of the Palestinian cause”, after the Dean of the Faculty of Science in Ben Msik in Casablanca refused to honor the Moroccan student, Khadija Ahtour, for wearing the Palestinian keffiyeh at the graduation ceremony.
The participants in the sit-ins, which were organized for the 41st week in a row by the “Moroccan Authority for the Support of the Nation’s Issues”, expressed their refusal of targeting civilians in Gaza.
Many Moroccan cities witnessed solidarity events and sit-ins in support of Gaza including: Quneitra, Nador, Bani Jarir, Tangier, Meknes, Agadir, Taroudant, and Ahfir, according to Anadolu Agency.
The participants in the protest sit-ins raised Palestinian flags, and banners supporting the Palestinian resistance and the steadfastness of the Palestinian people.
The Moroccan sit-inners also condemned the Israeli plans to displace the residents of the Gaza Strip and the ongoing Israeli siege, starvation and killing of Palestinians.
Since October 7, 2023, Israel has been launching with the US support a war of genocide on Gaza which has left more than 128,000 Palestinian martyrs and wounded, mostly children and women, and more than 10,000 missing amid massive destruction and man-made famine.
