Amran - Saba:
The health sector in Amran Governorate organized sit-ins on Saturday in solidarity with the Palestinian people, in support of Gaza, in rejection of the killing and starvation inflicted on the people of the Strip by the Zionist entity with U.S. support.
Participants in the sit-ins, attended by the Director of the Governorate Health Office, Dr. Mohammed Al-Houthi, the President of Al-Sammad Hospital Authority, Dr. Abdulghani Faris, and a number of health professionals, condemned global silence and Arab and Islamic inaction in the face of the daily massacres, genocide, and systematic starvation in Gaza.
They affirmed that the use of starvation as a weapon and the denial of medical supplies to the people of Gaza is an unforgivable crime and a stain on humanity’s conscience.
Speakers stressed that Gaza’s children have not only died from hunger due to the Zionist blockade, but also that humanity, human conscience, and international laws have died alongside them.
Protesters chanted slogans in solidarity with Gaza and all of Palestine, denouncing the disgraceful Arab and Islamic complacency and the shameful global silence toward the starvation, killing of women, children, and the elderly, forced displacement, and destruction of residential neighborhoods and all essentials of life.
Health sector leaders and staff reiterated their continued support for the Palestinian people and their heroic resistance, their determination to confront the criminal Zionist enemy , its allies, and their full readiness to engage in the “Promised Victory and Sacred Jihad” until liberation is achieved.
A statement issued during the sit-in denounced the systematic starvation policy in Gaza, describing it as more horrific and brutal than Nazism and fascism. It deemed the situation in Gaza an organized war crime committed in full view of a world that claims to uphold freedom, justice, and human rights. The statement noted that thousands of Palestinians have been killed by hunger or genocide in what are now known as “death traps,” while thousands more face the same fate amid severe shortages of food, milk, and medicine.
According to the statement, within the past hours alone, 87 people were killed and 570 injured while trying to obtain food aid—bringing the total “Bread Martyrs” to 1,655 killed and over 11,800 injured. It added that more than five new deaths from starvation and malnutrition are recorded daily, raising the death toll from the starvation war to 193, including 96 children. Over 100,000 children under the age of two—including 40,000 infants under one year—are at imminent risk of mass death within days due to the lack of infant formula, nutritional supplements, and the continued closure of crossings preventing the entry of essential supplies.
The statement further reported a daily surge in hundreds of new life-threatening acute malnutrition cases in recent days, with hospitals and health centers unable to respond or provide treatment due to the collapse of the health sector , the absence of medical and food resources.
It accused the U.S. aid agency of turning into a criminal tool contributing to engineering hunger and assassinating civilians as part of a plan that goes beyond starvation to dismantle the foundations of Palestinian life in preparation for a forced displacement project.
The statement held the U.S. administration fully responsible for the starvation war and the systematic genocide aimed at killing the Palestinian people in Gaza, amid the escalating Israeli aggression, ongoing siege, prevention of food, medicine, and humanitarian aid entry.
It called on the nation’s forces and the free people of the world to take urgent action, escalate public activities in cities and capitals worldwide, expand protests to more areas, and organize sit-ins in front of UN headquarters and Zionist and U.S. embassies to expose their role in this organized crime.
It stressed the urgent need to fully lift the criminal blockade, take immediate international action to stop this slow-motion mass killing, and allow the entry of infant formula, nutritional supplements, medicines, medical supplies, and medical teams into Gaza, with the immediate and unconditional opening of all crossings.
