[00:00:35] The recent military escalation between Yemen and Saudi Arabia [00:00:39] led to the breaking of the ceasefire active for 4 [00:00:42] years. The reason given is that on July [00:00:47] in the Bab el-Mandeb strait, which 13, the Saudi air force bombed the runway of the international airport in Sana'a, a city [00:00:51] controlled by the Houthis. A September report by the International [00:00:55] Organization for Migration, IOM, warned that since [00:00:58] this aggression, the Saudi army, in cooperation with the de [00:01:02] facto Yemeni government, has maintained the bombing in Alyaw, [00:01:05] Marib, Taiz, Mocha, and Al Hudaydah, [00:01:09] cities under Houthi control, which has generated more than 100,000 [00:01:13] internally displaced people. In addition, the number of people who have [00:01:16] crossed from Yemen to countries in the Horn of Africa in search of [00:01:19] refuge exceeds 3,000. IOM data [00:01:23] also reveals that as of September 20, 3,106 [00:01:27] Yemenis had crossed the Red Sea. They were heading to [00:01:30] Djibouti, where they were received and received humanitarian [00:01:34] assistance. [00:01:37] The UN agency for refugees, UNHCR, [00:01:40] warned that the number of displaced people could [00:01:44] change. To help with rise to 230,000 if fighting continues between Saudi and Yemeni [00:01:47] forces. A level one initial emergency has been declared [00:01:50] for Yemen, Djibouti, and Somalia, which allows [00:01:54] for the rapid mobilization of resources and personnel to expand the response through [00:01:58] economic aid, shelter, and protection. Fighting [00:02:01] is spreading across multiple fronts in Yemen, which has [00:02:04] triggered a rapidly growing displacement [00:02:08] crisis that has forced more than 130,000 people to [00:02:11] abandon their homes since mid-September 2026. The province [00:02:14] of Taiz continues to be the epicenter of the crisis and concentrates more than [00:02:18] 60% of the total displacements. Many [00:02:22] families remain within the same governorate without [00:02:25] the possibility of moving to safer places [00:02:28] due to fighting, blocked roads, or lack of transport [00:02:32] and fuel. [00:02:34] The resurgence of fighting in [00:02:37] Yemen could lead to new [00:02:40] who point out the fact recall what happened in massive displacements, with a growing number of [00:02:43] people already forced to move both within [00:02:46] the country and to neighboring countries such as Djibouti, [00:02:50] Somalia, and Ethiopia, warned the UN Refugee [00:02:53] Agency. Most of the displaced families within [00:02:57] Yemen have found shelter in the southern [00:03:01] governorates of Aden, Lahij, Abyan, and [00:03:04] Ad Dali', as well as in the central-west of the country, in the [00:03:08] Marib region, where more than 90,000 people [00:03:11] have arrived. According to UNHCR reports, the conditions of the [00:03:15] displaced are increasingly serious because they are in [00:03:19] overcrowded settlements where they are not [00:03:22] guaranteed shelter, food, drinking water, [00:03:26] or healthcare, which they urgently need. [00:03:30] This is the product of an imposed [00:03:33] war, of a [00:03:36] 130,000 people displaced in siege, uh, of a truly [00:03:39] criminal coalition [00:03:43] between Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates with the [00:03:47] collaboration, especially in the years from 2015 to 2022, of the United Kingdom [00:03:51] and the United States and, of course, Israel, [00:03:55] uh, who have created in Aden [00:03:58] a government that is totally [00:04:01] subservient to the interests of this coalition. [00:04:05] So these displacements are happening [00:04:08] due to the repeated, [00:04:11] systematic attacks of this coalition against the Yemeni [00:04:15] people. Uh, that [00:04:17] is to say, this is not a [00:04:20] recent event. From 2015 to the [00:04:24] present, this society has [00:04:27] been tortured, [00:04:30] has been subjected to [00:04:33] a tremendous collective punishment, and [00:04:36] in fact, we are talking about 34 million people, [00:04:40] which is approximately the Yemeni people. [00:04:43] Of those 34 million, there are about 5 [00:04:47] million households. Look, there are some interesting figures [00:04:50] there: one in every seven Yemeni [00:04:54] language of arrogance, on households apocalyptic, the sound of is suffering this forced [00:04:57] displacement, according to the Displacement Tracking Matrix of the [00:05:01] International Organization for Migration. As of September [00:05:04] 16, the number of internally displaced people in Yemen has [00:05:07] exceeded 104,796. [00:05:10] The province of Taiz remains [00:05:13] the epicenter with more than 63,000 [00:05:17] displaced people. The most affected districts are Yabal [00:05:20] Habashi with 21,018 [00:05:23] displaced people, Almaahfer with 12,642, [00:05:26] and Yas Shabanjakin with about [00:05:30] 8,250. The governorate of Ibb presented nearly [00:05:33] 26,400 displaced people, while [00:05:36] Abyan, Hadhramaut, and Marib also record figures [00:05:39] at the moment. [00:05:42] Since September 3, [00:05:46] 2026, the Saudi army has intensified its [00:05:49] attacks, going from attacking strategic military structures to [00:05:53] bombing civilian areas, schools, and homes, in order [00:05:57] to continue punishing the resilience of the Yemeni people, who have [00:06:00] resisted for 12 years the crimes against humanity of the Saudi [00:06:04] kingdom. [00:06:13] The correct solution is for them to stop their aggression against our country and [00:06:17] end their siege of our people. [00:06:20] This is a righteous demand, O people of the [00:06:23] world, this is what [00:06:25] we want, this is our cause, that [00:06:29] the Saudis stop their aggression against us and attack [00:06:32] us, and at the same time, that they end their siege [00:06:35] of our people, because it is an unjust and brutal siege. [00:06:39] That they stop depriving our people of their national wealth. It is the right [00:06:43] of our people to defend themselves, their honor, their land, [00:06:46] their independence, and their freedom, and this does not mean [00:06:50] that we ignore other issues. We [00:06:52] are firm in our principled positions on the stance against [00:06:56] the enemies of our Islamic nation. [00:06:59] According to reports from September 28, [00:07:02] planes from the Saudi-led coalition attacked the [00:07:06] Al-Raud school, located in the Taiz governorate, for the [00:07:09] third consecutive time, under the excuse that the structure [00:07:13] allegedly housed military material. However, [00:07:17] no evidence was presented to prove that this [00:07:20] was the case. The National Commission for Human Rights of the Asian [00:07:23] country condemned the bombings and called them a [00:07:26] war crime through a statement. The text [00:07:30] reads as follows: The third bombing of a previously [00:07:33] destroyed school confirms that we are facing a [00:07:36] systematic policy of attacks against education and not a [00:07:40] military error. They bomb the school three times, [00:07:44] pretending to tell the children of Taiz that they have no right to [00:07:48] life or education. Those [00:07:52] the Al-Raud school, emphasizing that it is not an isolated [00:07:55] incident but part of a systematic campaign of [00:07:58] destruction that over 12 years has [00:08:02] destroyed more than 2,775 [00:08:04] educational facilities in [00:08:06] Yemen. [00:08:09] It makes me sad when I see all these children who no longer study. They see [00:08:13] their friends and classmates who at 10 years old can go to school and [00:08:16] they stay there sitting staring into space. I see the [00:08:20] desire to learn in these children, but they [00:08:23] have no opportunities due to their economic [00:08:25] situation. [00:08:28] While fighting spreads across multiple fronts in Yemen, a [00:08:32] displacement crisis is unleashed. According to [00:08:35] the regional director of the IOM for the Middle East and North [00:08:38] Africa, Othbeisi, as of [00:08:41] September 29, the Taiz governorate hosts the largest [00:08:45] number of displaced people with [00:08:47] 73,494. [00:08:52] This displacement has had a great impact on the [00:08:55] governorate and its resources. There is no [00:08:59] sufficient capacity to accommodate the number of displaced [00:09:02] people. We call on international and [00:09:06] regional organizations to intervene quickly and meet their [00:09:09] needs, including shelter, food, [00:09:13] medicine, and education. [00:09:16] UNHCR announced that it has provided emergency financial assistance [00:09:20] to 200 displaced families and plans to provide [00:09:24] immediate support to another thousand, given that [00:09:27] more than 70% of displaced families in [00:09:31] Yemen are in emergency shelters or in precarious [00:09:34] conditions. At the same time, it assured that it would provide [00:09:38] financial aid for housing to [00:09:41] 500 displaced families in the governorates of [00:09:45] Aden and Lahij. In this context of migratory [00:09:48] crisis, the UN Refugee Agency stated that [00:09:51] it is sending from its global emergency reserve in Dubai 3,000 [00:09:55] basic item packages that include sleeping [00:09:59] mats, blankets, solar lamps, cooking [00:10:02] utensils, water containers, mosquito nets, and [00:10:06] tarpaulins to help assist Yemeni families who are [00:10:09] displaced. I insist, the populations that are suffering [00:10:12] the most are those in the territories controlled [00:10:15] by Saudi Arabia, Israel, and the United Arab [00:10:18] Emirates, which are where the mercenary gangs are, and Saudi [00:10:22] Arabia practically has no army of its own. They are [00:10:25] all mercenaries, the same as the United Arab Emirates and all those [00:10:29] monarchies of the Gulf. They are [00:10:31] the sheikhs, who are lazy and do not work and do not even have an army, and for that [00:10:35] they hire mercenaries from different countries. [00:10:38] In the same way, the International Organization for [00:10:42] Migration is assisting recently displaced families through the [00:10:45] rapid response mechanism in terms of shelter, [00:10:49] non-food items, and protection assistance. [00:10:52] But at the same time, it supports the displaced with the cash-based [00:10:55] intervention team that as of September [00:10:58] 22 had assisted some [00:11:01] 1,159 families with food. [00:11:29] Before becoming legends, they were just a man on the [00:11:32] bench. Before the home run or the goal, there was a [00:11:36] street, an empty lot, a dream without [00:11:39] cameras. The diamond has memory, the [00:11:42] court has soul. We [00:11:45] tell the two passions that move the [00:11:48] world. Goals at bat, [00:11:51] because passion knows no seasons. [00:11:55] Only on Telesur. [00:11:59] Temperatures rise, rainfall patterns change, and [00:12:02] drought advances. This is [00:15:09] The Entisaf organization, focused on the defense, [00:15:12] monitoring, and documentation of human rights violations suffered by women [00:15:16] and children in Yemen, published a report titled Hidden [00:15:20] Wounds Under the Ashes, on human rights that documents [00:15:24] the psychological and social repercussions caused by the [00:15:27] Saudi aggressions and the blockade suffered by the Yemeni population for [00:15:31] 12 years. According to the organization's report, displacement [00:15:35] and the decrease in livelihoods have weakened family ties and [00:15:38] social support networks, which poses new challenges for many Yemeni [00:15:42] families when it comes to providing for their [00:15:45] families. In addition, the organization reported that the [00:15:48] ground and air bombings launched [00:15:51] by the Saudi-led coalition since March [00:15:54] 26, 2015, have caused the death or [00:15:58] mutilation of more than 11,000 children, which [00:16:01] represents at least four children every [00:16:04] day in Yemen. The Entisaf Organization [00:16:10] for the Rights of Women and Children, in its latest report from September, [00:16:14] stated that more than 8.8 million Yemeni children [00:16:18] urgently need specialized protection services [00:16:21] due to the increasing risks of sexual [00:16:25] exploitation, child labor, and the worsening [00:16:28] domestic and psychological violence, derived from the [00:16:31] economic collapse caused by the commercial blockade induced by [00:16:34] Saudi Arabia and its Zionist partners who, together with [00:16:38] Washington, prevent medical supplies, food, [00:16:41] and industrial equipment from reaching the [00:16:44] inhabitants of the governorates controlled by the Houthis in [00:16:47] Yemen. [00:16:49] We have seen years of [00:16:53] conflict in Yemen, pushing more than 12 million children into [00:16:57] extreme situations. Unfortunately, this [00:17:00] latest escalation has caused even more. [00:17:04] In recent days, the death of nine children [00:17:07] in Yemen was confirmed, and others were injured. [00:17:11] We have confirmed that three children are still [00:17:15] missing near Aden, so this is the entire [00:17:18] situation regarding the victims. The situation [00:17:21] in general is becoming increasingly terrifying for children [00:17:25] and their [00:17:26] families. [00:17:30] According to the Entisaf organization's report, only [00:17:32] 120,000 people have access to mental health [00:17:36] services annually, which means that approximately [00:17:39] 6.8 million cases, [00:17:42] 98% of people with mental health [00:17:45] disorders lack basic health services. [00:17:48] Approximately 73% of children [00:17:51] present symptoms of post-traumatic stress [00:17:54] disorder as a result of the bombings and the [00:17:57] brutal blockade imposed on the [00:17:59] Asian country. [00:18:02] Entisaf called on the international community to cease the [00:18:06] aggressions and the blockade in all its forms by land, sea, [00:18:10] and air, as well as all forms of economic and humanitarian [00:18:14] pressure on the civilian population in Yemen, after [00:18:17] publishing that, according to their statistical studies, [00:18:20] 80% of internally displaced people and that [00:18:24] 22.1% of those two age sectors [00:18:28] suffer from some mental health disorder, that is, [00:18:31] a society that [00:18:34] well, a fifth, a fifth of the population [00:18:38] is suffering from post-traumatic stress disorder, [00:18:41] so what to do about that? Well, first [00:18:44] of all, resort to, [00:18:47] well, [00:18:51] criminal complaints before the competent international tribunals, [00:18:54] also global action invoking international [00:18:58] universal law [00:19:01] to condemn this. [00:19:04] In addition, the United Nations Children's Fund, UNICEF, which [00:19:08] operates in some areas in Yemen, reported that of the [00:19:13] recent weeks, some 701 are children from the southwest [00:19:16] of the country. To [00:19:19] date, UNICEF has managed to assist 2,900 children, and [00:19:23] one in four suffer from malnutrition, while at [00:19:26] least 200 suffer from severe acute malnutrition, [00:19:29] a product of the chaos of war and the blockade. And foreign [00:19:33] powers always first aim to destroy the [00:19:37] food and health distribution [00:19:40] system, because that generates, well, the [00:19:43] terrible humanitarian catastrophes that you just [00:19:46] mentioned, but in reality, that is what they are looking for, [00:19:50] because they are looking for fertile ground for [00:19:53] mercenary gangs, foreign agents, [00:19:56] and others to take possession of the territory and, above all, [00:20:00] as I say, to harass in this case Yemen, which is on the other [00:20:03] side, 30 kilometers away, to prevent it from taking control over the [00:20:07] Bab el-Mandeb strait. Despite UNICEF and [00:20:11] UNHCR's denunciations of crimes against humanity resulting from the [00:20:14] bombings, the aggression continued on the part of Saudi [00:20:17] Arabia. On September 18, [00:20:20] 2026, Saudi fighter jets carried out 37 [00:20:24] airstrikes against civilian areas in the Yemeni provinces [00:20:27] of Taiz and Hajjah. According to Sayyid Saree, the [00:20:31] military spokesman for the Houthi Ansarullah Movement of [00:20:34] Yemen. Uh, to date, sir. A society that has [00:20:38] been bombed, subjected, well, to [00:20:40] a terrible crime against humanity. All the [00:20:44] elements, all the international laws, international [00:20:47] law, have been violated. [00:20:50] Uh, human [00:20:53] rights, the Geneva Conventions, the 1977 [00:20:57] addenda to that convention, uh, [00:21:01] well, all the protocols that exist have been violated, articles [00:21:05] 48, 52, 54, [00:21:08] 56 of those, of those, of those [00:21:11] rules that establish that the [00:21:14] destruction of civil infrastructure is considered [00:21:17] a crime against humanity, [00:21:21] a war crime. As [00:21:23] retaliation against the blockade that Saudi Arabia has maintained against [00:21:27] Yemen for 12 years, the Houthi army has [00:21:30] maintained restrictions against the navigation of Saudi [00:21:33] ships in the Red Sea and [00:21:37] is part of a pressure strategy against Riyadh and a defensive [00:21:40] action by the Houthis under the formula of blockade for [00:21:44] blockade, escalation for escalation. [00:21:47] These operations will continue until the demands of the Yemeni [00:21:51] people are met and the reported violations against the country's [00:21:55] territory cease. [00:21:58] These defensive operations by Yemen have been misrepresented by Western [00:22:01] media outlets that seek to impose a narrative [00:22:05] that the Yemeni government blocks the entry of ships to all [00:22:09] nations that trade in the Red Sea. These [00:22:13] assertions were denied by the president of the Yemeni parliament, [00:22:16] Yahya Ali Al-Ra'i, who affirmed that the events on the [00:22:20] western coast of Yemen do not represent any threat [00:22:24] to international maritime navigation. [00:22:27] Now, regarding the ships, it is completely false, [00:22:31] the embargo is selective, it is against the Saudis, [00:22:34] against the United Arab Emirates, [00:22:38] against Israel, against anyone [00:22:41] who, well, threatens the [00:22:44] sovereignty of Yemeni interests. It is the same as what happens in [00:22:47] Hormuz. Iran does not attack any ship, it attacks [00:22:51] those ships that join that war imposed [00:22:54] by the United States and Israel. The same [00:22:58] happens here in Bab el-Mandeb, so much so that [00:23:01] the United States has not responded to the calls [00:23:05] from Saudi Arabia for help. [00:23:07] Saudi Arabia, despite all its economic power, and the United Arab [00:23:11] Emirates are petro-monarchies [00:23:14] with great capacity. And [00:23:18] economically, they have not achieved it with the [00:23:22] Houthis, who, if you look at them, have, [00:23:25] well, an army of almost 400,000 men. [00:23:28] No, the official stressed that his country is [00:23:32] responsibly committed to the security of maritime routes [00:23:35] and the freedom of international trade, but clarifies that [00:23:39] as a coastal state of the Red Sea, it exercises independent [00:23:42] control over its territorial waters and its [00:23:45] coastline. [00:23:48] The ideology they pursue is [00:23:50] to liberate maritime passages, to exercise sovereignty over maritime [00:23:53] passages, uh, uh, uh, [00:23:57] it has a radical anti-Zionist, anti-imperialist, and national sovereign [00:24:00] stance, so what to do about that, [00:24:04] apart from judging it, well, the arms [00:24:07] embargo, all mechanisms must be exercised for the United Kingdom, [00:24:11] the United States, Israel to stop supplying weapons to this [00:24:15] coalition of corporations, all [00:24:18] matters of the sale of weapons, [00:24:21] spare parts, intelligence [00:24:24] assistance, technical [00:24:28] advice, all of that are actions that the [00:24:32] global south must take to contain this criminal [00:24:36] war that, look, it is said to be [00:24:39] one of the or is [00:24:42] the biggest humanitarian crisis in the [00:24:45] world. On September 16, the president of the [00:24:48] parliament underlined Sana'a's commitment to guaranteeing the safe [00:24:52] passage of all ships in Yemeni territorial waters, with [00:24:56] the exception of ships linked to Saudi Arabia. The military [00:24:59] advisor to the Yemeni Ministry of Defense, Brigadier General [00:25:03] Abbed Mohamed Al-Taur, warned on September 25 that [00:25:06] any military intervention by the United States in the Yemen [00:25:10] conflict or any attempt to control the Bab el-Mandeb [00:25:13] strait would provoke retaliation against American [00:25:16] interests in the region. [00:25:20] If it dares to support Saudi Arabia through bombings [00:25:24] or air support, it will have opened a new front [00:25:27] and ended the truce. We [00:25:30] will confront it as we have done before and [00:25:33] will consider all US interests [00:25:36] surrounding us as military targets. We will [00:25:40] exclude nothing, whether in Saudi Arabia, the Red [00:25:44] Sea, the Gulf of Aden, the Arabian Sea, or the [00:25:47] Indian Ocean, we will strike with [00:25:50] an iron fist. The World Health Organization reported last [00:25:54] September that the health emergency facing the Yemeni [00:25:58] people is serious and that its emergency health operations center [00:26:01] has recorded a total of 4,481 [00:26:04] deaths and thousands of injuries from August [00:26:07] 6 to September 26. The Lahij [00:26:10] governorate remains the most affected front, while [00:26:14] Mudarrabah, Ras al-Arah, and the coast of Bab el-Mandeb [00:26:18] recorded the highest number of daily casualties, followed by [00:26:21] Taiz. [00:26:24] The WHO warns that around 40% of displaced [00:26:27] households on Yemen's west coast only have access to [00:26:31] drinking water through unprotected wells or [00:26:34] surface water, a third do not have lockable latrines, so the number [00:26:38] of suspected cholera cases rose to [00:26:41] 7,784 people. On September [00:26:45] 28, Yemeni media reported that Alcaeda General Hospital and [00:26:49] other hospitals in the city, south of IIP, received more than 100 [00:26:52] dead who arrived after the raids east of [00:26:55] Taiz. The intensification of the conflict in Yemen could [00:26:59] increase the number of people who have been forced to [00:27:02] flee both within the country and to Djibouti, Somalia [00:27:06] and other countries. This was warned by UNHCR, the UN refugee agency. [00:27:10] Before the escalation, more than 5.2 million people [00:27:14] were displaced within Yemen. Currently, [00:27:17] it is estimated that more than 22 million [00:27:21] people need humanitarian assistance. [00:27:25] Thus we come to the end of this installment of "Between Borders".
