Sanaa:The bodies of 43 victims from Saudi airstrikes on the Al-Shariya village in the Bani Hushaysh district of Sanaa province were laid to rest on Wednesday in a large funeral procession. The ceremony commenced at Al-Shaab Mosque in Sanaa and proceeded to the Martyrs’ Cemetery in Bani Hushaysh, drawing senior officials and large crowds.
According to Yemen News Agency, participants in the funeral condemned the targeting of civilian homes and expressed solidarity with the victims’ families, pledging to keep the memory of those considered martyrs alive.
The recent Saudi airstrikes, which occurred on Saturday, targeted six homes, resulting in the deaths of 44 people and injuring 40 others, the majority of whom were women and children. The mourners emphasized that these acts would not weaken the Yemeni people’s resilience or deter their steadfast pursuit of ending the aggression, lifting the blockade, reclaiming looted resources, achieving sovereignty, and supporting national causes, including that of Palestine.
Mourners also expressed that the targeting of civilians and peaceful families, rather than military confrontation on the battlefield, reflected what they described as the criminal nature of Saudi forces and their hostility toward the Yemeni people.
