Tens of thousands of Yemenis and Moroccans participated on Friday in solidarity protests and rallies in support for Gaza and in condemnation of the devastating genocidal war that Israel has been waging on the Strip since October 7, 2023.
The Houthi-affiliated Saba news agency reported that “the capital, Sana’a witnessed on Friday a million-strong rally under the slogan “One Jihad and One Axis with Gaza until victory”.
Thousands of others also gathered in the governorates of Hodeida and Hajjah (west), Saada (north), and Dhale’ (south), according to the agency.
The participants in the demonstrations called for by the Houthi group chanted slogans supporting Gaza and its steadfastness, and the new Chief of Hamas Political bureau Yahya al-Sinwar, the agency added.
In the city of Taiz (southwest), which is under the internationally-recognized government control, an Anadolu Agency correspondent reported that hundreds gathered in a solidarity sit-in with Gaza in the Freedom Square in the city center.

In Morocco, thousands took to the streets on Friday, for the 44th week, to express their solidarity with the Gaza Strip, which has been subjected to a devastating Israeli war since October 7 last year.
