March 9/ Yemeni press

Yemeni women have held a demonstration outside the United Nations headquarters in the capital Sana’a, calling for an end to the Saudi offensive and its inhumane blockade on the impoverished state.

The protesters were holding banners reading, “Yemeni women die due to war and siege,” “Millions in Yemen have no access to prescribed medicine,” and, “When will the international community break the silence toward Yemen siege?”

Human rights activist Mason Iryani said the Yemeni women had gathered in Sana’a “to send a message to the United Nations and the whole world to stop the blockade on Yemen and let the Yemeni people live. Yemeni women have suffered enough.”
