Hodeida sons rally in 235 marches in solidarity with Gaza & readiness against aggression
Hodeida – Saba: Hodeida province witnessed on Friday massive public marches across 235 squares in all districts, reaffirming steadfast support for the Palestinian people under the slogan: "Steadfastness with Gaza, Readiness, and Mobilization Against Aggression." The squares, led by Hodeida City's main square, were packed with crowds who flocked from the province's rural and urban areas in a grand public display of deep allegiance to the Palestinian cause. Governor Abdullah Atifi, First Deputy Governor Ahmed Al-Bishri, and deputies Mohammed Halisi, Mohammed Al-Nahari, and Ali Al-Kabari spearheaded the marches. Participants, including deputies for the Eastern, Northern, and Southern Districts—Amer Mathna, Ghalib Hamza, and Mutahar Al-Hadi—chanted slogans condemning the crimes of the Zionist entity and calling on the Islamic nation in all its spectrums to mobilize for jihad and support the oppressed Palestinian blood. They emphasized Muslim unity, holding fast to God's rope, standing as one against tyranny and arrogance in defense of Gaza, Palestine, and all occupied Islamic lands. The marches renewed strong condemnation of Israel's ongoing brutal massacres, genocide, and starvation crimes against civilians in Gaza amid suspicious international silence and blatant complicity. Participants held nations and peoples of the Islamic world—especially those near Palestine—accountable before God and history for Gaza's suffocating siege and deliberate starvation, stressing that delivering food, water, and medicine to the blockaded strip is an urgent religious and humanitarian duty. The people of Hodeida, guardian of the Red Sea, deemed normalization with the Zionist enemy a major crime, reversible only by severing all political, economic, media, and cultural ties with the usurping entity. They called on Arab and Muslim peoples to fulfill their duties in jihad and sacrifice—with lives or wealth—to support Gaza, liberate Al-Aqsa, and confront the American-Zionist colonial project. They expressed pride in the Yemeni Armed Forces' qualitative operations deep in enemy territory in support of Palestinian resistance, renewing their pledge to God and the Revolution Leader to continue mobilization , readiness for the promised battle of liberation and sacred jihad. A statement issued by the mass marches denounced the criminal Zionist enemy—with full American and Western involvement—for committing the most heinous genocide against the Palestinian people in Gaza and all of Palestine for 21 months, amid global silence and in full view of hundreds of millions of Arabs, Muslims, and people worldwide. It highlighted ongoing Zionist violations against Al-Aqsa Mosque and holy sites, arrogantly imposing total domination over the region's peoples. The statement affirmed the continuation of weekly million-man marches in response to God, steadfastly supporting the oppressed Palestinian people with full readiness against any aggression, relying on God's promise and victory. The statement condemned the silence of most Arab and Islamic regimes toward the major massacres and genocide by the Zionist and American enemies against Gaza's people, rejecting global complicity and deceptive rhetoric lacking real action, which emboldens the enemy. This shameful silence, it warned, threatens the nation's present and future in this life and the hereafter. It reaffirmed that the Yemeni people, under their wise leadership and Quranic project, rooted in faith, will never retreat from their unwavering stance supporting Gaza and Palestine, undeterred by Zionist and American threats, and ready for any escalation, trusting in God's victory. Yemen's culture, the statement stressed, is built on patience, jihad, and steadfastness, with no room for retreat or concession. Readiness and response to God are its constants, with firm belief that outcomes belong to God alone. It praised the legendary heroism of Palestinian men and women in Gaza and the West Bank, whose resilience despite immense sacrifices remains a source of pride and inspiration, proving that limited resources never justify surrender. Despite harsh conditions, Gaza's people refused to yield, writing epic tales of steadfastness that defied the enemy's might. The statement called on Arabs and Muslims—peoples and regimes—to boycott Israeli and American products that support the criminal Zionist entity, as boycott is an effective, accessible weapon and the least stance against Gaza's atrocities.

Hodeida… Service projects lay foundation for comprehensive developmental transformation in northern Districts
Hodeida – Saba: The northern districts of Hodeida province are witnessing a developmental movement encompassing vital sectors, as part of the local authority's efforts to implement projects and direct interventions aimed at improving roads, health, and education, as well as expanding services in neighborhoods and coastal areas. More than 1.713 billion Yemeni riyals have been allocated to fund a package of projects that were inaugurated or had their foundation stones laid yesterday. These projects include completing phases of strategic roads, flood protection works, launching health facilities, rehabilitating educational institutions, as well as urban planning and road construction projects. The road linking Al-Qanawus, Al-Mughlaf, and Al-Kadan has become a prominent symbol of this movement, with the first phase of paving completed and work launched on the second phase. This project reconnects areas, shortens travel distances to services, reduces transportation costs, and boosts local market activity, particularly in agricultural regions. Alongside this project, the expanded Al-Jilaniyah crossing in Al-Qanawus and the surface bridge under construction in Al-Dahi stand as tangible responses to the recurring flood challenges during the rainy season. These projects provide sustainable protection, secure vital transit routes, and prevent road disruptions between districts. In Al-Zaydiyah, health services are making a comeback with the laying of the foundation stone for a CT scan building at the district hospital. Meanwhile, the Hafsa Educational Complex is undergoing rehabilitation to restore its educational function in a more suitable environment, with standards that meet female students' needs, support academic achievement, and encourage regular attendance. The projects are not limited to the central areas of the districts but have extended to neighborhood units through road construction and neighborhood expansions. This contributes to organizing urban sprawl, facilitating service delivery, and enhancing infrastructure efficiency in growing residential areas experiencing population increases. Hodeida Governor Abdullah Atifi described the service interventions in the northern districts as the culmination of ongoing efforts by the local authority to bridge the service gap that has affected these areas for years. He affirmed that these projects are already making a tangible difference in citizens' lives and restoring confidence in the developmental path. Atifi explained that the achievements on the ground did not come by chance but were the result of prior planning based on real data about the needs of the most underserved districts. He praised the role of the Road Maintenance Fund in financing several projects and the community efforts that accelerated progress. He emphasized that the ongoing projects represent a real shift from temporary responses to stable institutional spending, and from stopgap solutions to fundamental treatments, laying the foundation for a more cohesive and sustainable service system that improves the efficiency of vital facilities and reduces long-term costs. Atifi noted that this phase marks an entry point for rebuilding the relationship between citizens and the state on the basis of service, community participation, and reality-based planning. He stressed that the local authority will not stop here but will continue to expand its efforts to cover other districts and areas awaiting their share of development. He pointed out that the province's developmental vision focuses on addressing challenges, building on achievements, and expanding projects toward priority areas. Field teams and implementing entities, he said, operate within a monitoring and evaluation system ensuring quality execution, direct impact on people's lives, and avoiding any disruptions that could hinder sustainability or equitable project distribution. The governor called for strengthening partnerships between supporting entities, local councils, and community institutions to integrate efforts and protect achievements. He affirmed that the next phase will see expanded interventions, guided by a plan that considers population growth, facility pressures, and climate changes directly impacting infrastructure, especially in environmentally vulnerable coastal areas. Mohammad Mathna, head of the Public Works Sector in Hodeidah, explained that the projects underway in the northern districts stem from a well-studied action plan based on precise field surveys and an integrated vision to improve infrastructure and basic services in outlying areas, aligning with residents' needs and addressing accumulated challenges. He noted that the Public Works Sector oversees direct engineering supervision to ensure quality and compliance with specifications, in coordination with implementing entities and the Road Maintenance Fund. Field monitoring mechanisms, he added, enhance performance efficiency and achieve the desired impact in project execution. Hassan Al-Ahdal, director of Al-Zaydiyah District, stated that the ongoing interventions respond to tangible needs that residents have raised for years. He affirmed that the CT scan building at Al-Zaydiyah Hospital will significantly improve healthcare services, providing accurate diagnoses without the need for patients to travel to distant centers, thus easing their burden and reducing treatment and transportation costs. He described the rehabilitation of the Hafsa Girls' Complex as restoring the educational institution's value and providing a more stimulating environment for female students, representing a step toward improving education quality and expanding academic opportunities for girls—key to development. Meanwhile, Mohammad Al-Qawzi, director of Al-Qanawus District, highlighted that the road linking Al-Qanawus, Al-Mughlaf, and Al-Kadan is among the most strategic long-demanded projects. The completion of its first and second phases, he said, will end the isolation of vast areas, enhance transport and services between the district and its surroundings, open new economic prospects, and improve access to educational and health services. He confirmed that expanding Al-Jilaniyah crossing provides a practical solution to flood-related disruptions and recurring seasonal damage, mitigating environmental risks and ensuring safe passage for citizens, students, and agricultural products even during heavy rains. Amid this transformation, the projects underway in the northern districts are more than just service interventions—they mark the starting point of a broader developmental path redefining the relationship between development and place. They establish a new understanding of public service as a tool for stability, balance, and embodying the state's presence in citizens' daily lives. Whatsapp Telegram Email Print more of (Reports)
