As the Israeli-led bombardment of Gaza reaches its 100th day, concerns mount over the devastating impact on innocent Palestinians. The conflict has seen over 30,000 bombs dropped by Israel, resulting in a daily death toll of 300 people in Gaza. Reports indicate that nearly 70 percent of homes in the region have been either partially or completely destroyed, with places of worship, markets, hospitals, and schools severely targeted.
International organizations, including the United Nations and the World Health Organization, highlight the dire humanitarian situation in Gaza. Half of the population is at risk of starvation, and diseases are spreading due to the ongoing attacks and siege. Critics argue that the situation is exacerbated by the support provided by the United States, with the US and UK governments blocking a UN Security Council resolution calling for a ceasefire.
The alleged complicity of the US in the conflict has sparked condemnation, as the Yemeni government takes a bold stand against the Israeli actions. Yemeni authorities have blocked ships destined for Israel in an attempt to force a cessation of the genocide in Gaza and the lifting of the siege. This move has faced opposition, with critics claiming it interferes with international law.
In a surprising turn of events, the US-led forces conducted a military attack on Yemen on January 11, 2024. This development has raised questions about America’s involvement in the ongoing conflict in Gaza and its implications on the 100-day-long humanitarian crisis. The attack on Yemen by US/UK-led forces has further heightened concerns about the role of these nations in the Palestinian situation.
Sidi Munir Mainasara Sokoto, representing the Islamic movement under the leadership of His Eminence Sayyid Ibraheem Ya’qoub Zakzaky, strongly condemns the military actions and demands an immediate and total halt to the ongoing massacre of civilians in Gaza. The international community watches closely as the conflict persists, seeking diplomatic solutions to bring an end to the suffering of innocent lives.
