News - Yemen: Al-Sabeen Square in Yemen’s capital witnessed an extraordinary turnout of millions for the commemoration of the Prophet Muhammad’s (PBUH & HF) birth, in what officials described as a historic day of faith and national unity.

This year’s celebration coincided with Yemen’s heightened military stance against the Zionist entity and followed the recent assassination of Prime Minister Ahmed Ghaleb Al-Rahwi and several ministers. Organizers said the event sent a strong message to enemies that Yemenis remain deeply connected to the prophetic path and committed to the Palestinian cause, particularly Gaza.

From early morning, the capital was on high alert, with security personnel, organizational committees, and volunteers ensuring smooth access and crowd management. Transportation to the square was coordinated carefully, and entry procedures were executed efficiently, allowing participants to attend without disruption.

Security sources highlighted the cooperation between authorities and citizens, stressing that the event reflects Yemen’s resilience and defiance against adversaries. “We are here to serve the people on the holiest occasion and to send a message to the enemy: Yemen will not break or surrender,” said one official.

A fully equipped field hospital was set up in the square, providing emergency care and medical services to attendees, including critical cases. Doctors confirmed that all necessary measures were in place to handle health emergencies during the event.

Media teams from Yemen and abroad covered the event extensively, broadcasting the massive turnout and proceedings worldwide. Organizers emphasized that the seamless coordination and security, health, and media efforts made the commemoration one of the most orderly and impactful celebrations globally.

The Prophet’s birth anniversary in Yemen is among the largest and most significant Islamic celebrations globally. This year’s event took on additional political and symbolic importance amid Yemen’s ongoing confrontation with the Zionist entity and its demonstration of solidarity with Palestinians in Gaza. Authorities highlighted that the massive turnout reflects the Yemeni people’s adherence to the prophetic path and their commitment to faith, resistance, and national unity.
