News - Yemen: In a powerful and emotionally charged speech, the Leader of the Revolution Sayyed Abdulmalik Badr al-Din al-Houthi delivered a comprehensive assessment of the catastrophic situation in Gaza, describing the unfolding genocide as the darkest and most painful chapter since the beginning of the Israeli assault.

Speaking Thursday about the latest developments in Gaza and the broader regional and international context, Sayyed Abdulmalik condemned the Zionist-American aggression against Palestinians, carried out with blatant US support and disgraceful Arab and Islamic complicity.

He described this week as the bloodiest and most unjust since the onslaught began, stressing that the horrific crimes being committed have surpassed all bounds amid deafening international silence.

“The images of children and their suffering in Gaza are heartbreaking. They are a disgrace to all of humanity—especially to the Muslim world,” he said, highlighting how Israeli forces have deliberately targeted children, depriving them even of baby formula in an intentional plan of extermination.

The leader denounced the Israeli military’s brazen celebration of child killings, noting that videos of such atrocities are published as entertainment by those who describe themselves as soldiers. He added that this week alone, over 1,000 Palestinians were killed by US-backed bombings, often in what were falsely labeled as humanitarian zones.

He posed a direct challenge to Western hypocrisy: "Where are children’s rights and human rights now? All the slogans the West uses to deceive the world have collapsed in Gaza.”

Highlighting the toll on women, he said pregnant women and elderly women face indescribable suffering, with the Israeli enemy denying them food and safety and bombing them with American weapons. Many Gazans, he noted, have gone five days without food.

Sayyed Abdulmalik warned of an intensifying famine as 71,000 children face life-threatening malnutrition, 17,000 mothers require immediate intervention, 900,000 children are going hungry, 70,000 are already suffering from malnutrition, and patients with diabetes and kidney disease are at extreme risk due to lack of nutrition and medicine.

He condemned Arab and Islamic institutions, asking: “Where is the Arab League? Where is the Organization of Islamic Cooperation while genocide, starvation, and displacement continue?” He called their inaction a profound shame on the global community.

The leader revealed that Israeli forces continue to strike displaced civilians and force Gaza residents from areas with limited water access to places with none—an intentional campaign to cause thirst and further suffering.

He described the situation in Gaza as "unbearably tragic," saying the Palestinian people feel deeply betrayed—first and foremost by fellow Arabs and Muslims who bear the greatest responsibility.

Calling for immediate action, he said: “Arab inaction is collective death of conscience and a total abandonment of values.”

He criticized the silence of over a billion Muslims and hundreds of millions of Arabs, saying only a small portion of the Ummah has taken a firm and clear stand against the enemy.

Sayyed Abdulmalik also addressed the broader geopolitical framework, stressing that Zionism is a global movement with two wings—American and Israeli—and that its goal is domination, corruption, and extermination of the world’s populations. He reminded the world that the so-called “Golden Billion” ideology—preserving the elite few while exterminating the rest—originates from this same Zionist mindset.

In conclusion, Sayyed Abdulmalik urged the world, especially Arabs and Muslims, to awaken, unite, and confront this injustice before the cost of silence becomes irreversible.

Since March, Israel’s ongoing blockade of Gaza’s crossings has intensified an already catastrophic humanitarian crisis, particularly affecting the delivery of essential aid. Thousands of humanitarian trucks remain stuck at border points, unable to enter the besieged Strip, leaving civilians without access to food, water, and medical supplies.

Healthcare professionals in Gaza are reporting unprecedented conditions: widespread hunger, immune system collapse, exhaustion, and even fainting during surgeries and emergency rescues. 

At least 100 more Palestinians, including 34 waiting for aid, were killed in Israeli strikes in the past 24 hours alone. The United Nations reports that Israeli forces have shot dead more than 1,000 aid seekers at food distribution points in recent months.

While aid continues to accumulate just beyond Gaza’s borders, it remains largely inaccessible due to Israel’s tight control, exacerbating famine and pushing the population toward total collapse.
