Angry women’s march in Marib condemns Israeli starvation policies in Gaza.
Women’s March in Marib Protests Israeli Policies of Starvation
On Thursday evening, a massive women’s march took place in Marib, Yemen, condemning the systematic starvation imposed by Israeli forces on civilians in Gaza. This policy has led to the tragic deaths of numerous children and women due to hunger, exacerbated by a severe blockade and complete disruption of essential supplies.
Outcry Against International Silence
Participants in the march raised slogans denouncing the international community’s silence regarding what they termed a “slow genocide.” They emphasized that the situation in Gaza represents a stain on humanity, revealing complicity among nations with the occupying government that weaponizes food to force the population into forced displacement.
Key Demands of the March
The demonstrators articulated several urgent demands:
- A call for the international community and the Security Council to take immediate action to halt the escalating famine.
- A plea for humanitarian and relief organizations to fulfill their ethical and humanitarian responsibilities.
- A demand to lift the blockade on Gaza and ensure a consistent and regular supply of food and medicine.
Warning Against Continued Starvation Policies
The participants warned that the ongoing occupation’s use of starvation and deprivation as tools for silent mass killing poses a grave threat. They urged for immediate global action to prevent a complete collapse of the humanitarian system in the besieged region.
This march highlights the urgent need for international attention and action to address the humanitarian crisis in Gaza, as voices from around the world call for justice and support for those suffering under oppressive conditions.
