Awqaf Authority launches "Ita'am" Project for poor, needy, & frontline defenders
The General Authority of Awqaf launched on Wednesday the "Ita'am" (Feeding) project by distributing 130 heads of cattle to the poor, needy, and frontline defenders.
During the launch ceremony, attended by the First Deputy Prime Minister, Scholar Mohammed Miftah, the Minister of Education and Scientific Research, Hassan Al-Saadi, praised the efforts and contributions of Awqaf Authority in addressing the needs of the poor, needy, and those defending the nation on the frontlines through humanitarian charity projects that alleviate their suffering and meet some of their needs.
He emphasized the righteousness of Yemen's path under divine leadership, which has restored the country's dignity and honor. Minister Al-Saadi also highlighted Yemen's honorable stance in supporting the Palestinian people, a position made possible only by the wise leadership bestowed upon the nation by God. He urged Awqaf Authority to implement more charitable projects, especially under the current circumstances.
For his part, the Chairman of the General Authority of Awqaf, Scholar Abdul-Majeed Al-Houthi, stated that the Authority has launched the "Ita'am" project for the fifth consecutive year, distributing sacrificial meat to the poor, needy, orphanages, centers for the blind, and frontline defenders, in line with its responsibility to manage endowment funds according to donors' intentions.
He described the support provided to the frontline defenders and families of martyrs as modest compared to their sacrifices, which have shattered the false prestige of America. Al-Houthi noted that the Authority timed this project to coincide with Eid al-Adha, making the occasion one of generosity and giving.
Scholar Al-Houthi stressed that a strong connection with God leads to sacrifice and benevolence, affirming that Yemen's absolute submission to God has enabled its people to stand firm in supporting Gaza and confronting the tyrants of the era, despite the immense sacrifices made.
He reiterated Yemen's sincere stance, rooted in the fear of God, at a time when Arab and Islamic regimes have failed to aid their Palestinian brethren. "If the Yemeni people could deliver aid to Gaza, they would sacrifice their own provisions for their Palestinian brothers, who face genocide, starvation, and a criminal siege by the Zionist entity—amid shameful silence from Islamic nations and disgraceful inaction by Arab regimes," he said.
In turn, the Secretary-General of the Yemeni Scholars Association, Scholar Taha Al-Hadhari, and the Director of Al-Nour Center for the Blind, Hassan Ismail, commended the Awqaf Authority's dedication to implementing charitable projects targeting the poor and frontline defenders, particularly on this sacred religious occasion.
They emphasized the importance of such initiatives in alleviating the suffering of the needy, highlighting how the Authority's projects foster social solidarity , reflect the compassion of Islam and humanity.

Palestinian Scholars Association calls on nation to take action against genocide in Gaza
Occupied al-Quds – Saba: The Palestinian Scholars Association called on the Arab and Islamic nations and free people around the world on Sunday to take action in the field to support calls for popular escalation against the genocide and starvation being perpetrated in the Gaza Strip. In a statement received by the Yemeni News Agency (Saba), the Association called for organizing protests and sit-ins in front of Israeli embassies and the embassies of countries that support it, starting today and continuing until the aggression stops and the famine is lifted from the residents of the Gaza Strip. The Association expressed its concern about what is happening in al-Quds and al-Aqsa Mosque, asserting that the Zionist enemy police have become a sponsor of incursions by Zionist religious pilgrims. It emphasized that what is happening in al-Aqsa Mosque aims to consolidate the temporal and spatial division of the mosque and to redefine the Zionist intruders as pilgrims. The Authority called for the broadest popular, media, and scholarly engagement with the Battle of al-Aqsa Mosque, especially on the anniversary of the so-called "Destruction of the Temple," which falls today, Sunday, August 3. The Authority emphasized that al-Aqsa Mosque is not only a Palestinian issue, but rather a battle for Islamic existence, and that any negligence in defending it constitutes an abandonment of the nation's trust and its religious and historical responsibilities.

Islamic Jihad: desecration of Al-Aqsa Mosque by criminal Ben Gvir, settler gangs is systematic escalation
Gaza - Saba: The Islamic Jihad Movement in Palestine considered the dangerous desecration of the blessed Al-Aqsa Mosque this Sunday morning, led by the so-called Minister of National Security in the Zionist entity, the criminal Itamar Ben Gvir, along with more than 2,000 settler gangs, a systematic escalation of Zionist attacks on the mosque. The movement confirmed, in a statement received by the Yemeni News Agency (Saba), that the criminal Ben Gvir and the settler gangs stormed the courtyards of the blessed Al-Aqsa Mosque and performed Talmudic prayers in the courtyards of the Al-Aqsa Mosque, under heavy protection from enemy forces. This is a systematic escalation of the ongoing Zionist attacks on the Al-Aqsa Mosque and a continuation of the plan aimed at imposing complete Zionist control over Jerusalem, its holy sites, and the entire West Bank. She said: "These systematic attacks and provocations by settler gangs are an insult to the feelings of Muslims around the world. Through these attacks, the Zionist enemy deliberately seeks to extend its dominance over the nation's holy sites, foremost among them the blessed Al-Aqsa Mosque, the first of the two Qiblas (direction of prayer) and the third holiest site in Islam. It seeks to divide and Judaize it, paving the way for its destruction." She added: "While we hold the Zionist enemy government and its partners in the US administration fully responsible for the consequences of these violations, we condemn the Arab silence and the Arab and Islamic nation's stand-by as a spectator to these crimes and massacres committed against Palestine, its people, and its holy sites, without their regimes and peoples taking any action." The Islamic Jihad Movement called on the peoples of the Arab and Islamic nations to "stand united to confront this Israeli bullying and thuggery, fully covered and supported by the US administration, because the danger of this racist, expansionist entity will not remain limited to Palestine, but will extend to the nation, its holy sites, and its history. Those who are complacent will not be safe from the Zionist danger, its ambitions, and its crimes if they abandon their religious, moral, and humanitarian duty toward Palestine, its cause, and its people."
