Yemeni, Palestinian Communities Protest in Flensburg in Solidarity with Gaza

General

Flensburg: Dozens of Yemeni and Palestinian community members alongside German activists demonstrated Saturday in Flensburg, Schleswig-Holstein, in a protest standing with Gaza.

According to Yemen News Agency, protesters raised Palestinian flags, chanting against the 22-month Israeli genocide in Gaza committed openly before the world's eyes. Participants condemned global silence and Western governments' complicity in supporting the Zionist entity, calling for practical international steps to save Gaza from systematic extermination.

The event was organized by the Palestinian Cultural Club and Yemeni community in Germany and featured speeches denouncing genocide, starvation, killings, and siege, where humanitarian catastrophe now manifests through mass deaths from hunger, malnutrition, and siege-induced diseases.

Yemeni Community Chairman Mahmoud Al-Sagheer highlighted the unprecedented brutality of Israel's nearly two-year crimes in Gaza, stating, "We stand here today because we feel responsibility - not just toward history but the present. Injustice doesn't disappear with silence; it grows." He noted, "Germany bears moral responsibility to act given its historical wounds of racism, displacement, and destruction," while criticizing Europe's colonial legacy that still shapes attitudes toward Global South peoples.

"Gaza witnesses a tragic repeat," he added, "with 93% facing hunger, over 60,000 martyrs, and hundreds of thousands of malnourished children." Gaza's famine crisis continues since Israel's March closure of crossings and aid restrictions, leaving markets empty with bread virtually unobtainable and hyperinflated prices making starvation a leading cause of death.

Daily Israeli crimes persist against aid-seekers under the US-backed "Gaza Humanitarian Foundation" mechanism operational since May 27.
