TEHRAN, Apr. 05 (MNA) – The Yemeni people declared their strong support for the Palestinian nation by turning out to massive rallies across the capital Sana'a and other cities on International Quds Day on Friday.

The demonstrators in the huge International Quds Day rallies in Yemen issued a statement announcing that the battle for the liberation of holy Quds and other parts of Palestine is not only duty of the Palestinian nation, but the entire Islamic world.

The statement further states that during the past six months, the Palestinian nation has faced the most terrible and shameless genocide by the Zionist regime and the American colonial power in Gaza and throughout Palestine.

The Yemenis further stressed that Palestine is still the number one issue of the Islamic Ummah. "Our Ummah must support the sacred cause and take action to liberate the holy land"

"No excuse is accepted from any government in Islamic countries for their negligence in fulfilling their duty for the liberation of Palestine and helping its oppressed nation," it also read.
