00:00:35The recent military escalation between Yemen and Saudi Arabia
00:00:39led to the breaking of the ceasefire active for 4
00:00:42years. The reason given is that on July
00:00:47in the Bab el-Mandeb strait, which 13, the Saudi air force bombed the runway of the international airport in Sana'a, a city
00:00:51controlled by the Houthis. A September report by the International
00:00:55Organization for Migration, IOM, warned that since
00:00:58this aggression, the Saudi army, in cooperation with the de
00:01:02facto Yemeni government, has maintained the bombing in Alyaw,
00:01:05Marib, Taiz, Mocha, and Al Hudaydah,
00:01:09cities under Houthi control, which has generated more than 100,000
00:01:13internally displaced people. In addition, the number of people who have
00:01:16crossed from Yemen to countries in the Horn of Africa in search of
00:01:19refuge exceeds 3,000. IOM data
00:01:23also reveals that as of September 20, 3,106
00:01:27Yemenis had crossed the Red Sea. They were heading to
00:01:30Djibouti, where they were received and received humanitarian
00:01:34assistance.
00:01:37The UN agency for refugees, UNHCR,
00:01:40warned that the number of displaced people could
00:01:44change. To help with rise to 230,000 if fighting continues between Saudi and Yemeni
00:01:47forces. A level one initial emergency has been declared
00:01:50for Yemen, Djibouti, and Somalia, which allows
00:01:54for the rapid mobilization of resources and personnel to expand the response through
00:01:58economic aid, shelter, and protection. Fighting
00:02:01is spreading across multiple fronts in Yemen, which has
00:02:04triggered a rapidly growing displacement
00:02:08crisis that has forced more than 130,000 people to
00:02:11abandon their homes since mid-September 2026. The province
00:02:14of Taiz continues to be the epicenter of the crisis and concentrates more than
00:02:1860% of the total displacements. Many
00:02:22families remain within the same governorate without
00:02:25the possibility of moving to safer places
00:02:28due to fighting, blocked roads, or lack of transport
00:02:32and fuel.
00:02:34The resurgence of fighting in
00:02:37Yemen could lead to new
00:02:40who point out the fact recall what happened in massive displacements, with a growing number of
00:02:43people already forced to move both within
00:02:46the country and to neighboring countries such as Djibouti,
00:02:50Somalia, and Ethiopia, warned the UN Refugee
00:02:53Agency. Most of the displaced families within
00:02:57Yemen have found shelter in the southern
00:03:01governorates of Aden, Lahij, Abyan, and
00:03:04Ad Dali', as well as in the central-west of the country, in the
00:03:08Marib region, where more than 90,000 people
00:03:11have arrived. According to UNHCR reports, the conditions of the
00:03:15displaced are increasingly serious because they are in
00:03:19overcrowded settlements where they are not
00:03:22guaranteed shelter, food, drinking water,
00:03:26or healthcare, which they urgently need.
00:03:30This is the product of an imposed
00:03:33war, of a
00:03:36130,000 people displaced in siege, uh, of a truly
00:03:39criminal coalition
00:03:43between Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates with the
00:03:47collaboration, especially in the years from 2015 to 2022, of the United Kingdom
00:03:51and the United States and, of course, Israel,
00:03:55uh, who have created in Aden
00:03:58a government that is totally
00:04:01subservient to the interests of this coalition.
00:04:05So these displacements are happening
00:04:08due to the repeated,
00:04:11systematic attacks of this coalition against the Yemeni
00:04:15people. Uh, that
00:04:17is to say, this is not a
00:04:20recent event. From 2015 to the
00:04:24present, this society has
00:04:27been tortured,
00:04:30has been subjected to
00:04:33a tremendous collective punishment, and
00:04:36in fact, we are talking about 34 million people,
00:04:40which is approximately the Yemeni people.
00:04:43Of those 34 million, there are about 5
00:04:47million households. Look, there are some interesting figures
00:04:50there: one in every seven Yemeni
00:04:54language of arrogance, on households apocalyptic, the sound of is suffering this forced
00:04:57displacement, according to the Displacement Tracking Matrix of the
00:05:01International Organization for Migration. As of September
00:05:0416, the number of internally displaced people in Yemen has
00:05:07exceeded 104,796.
00:05:10The province of Taiz remains
00:05:13the epicenter with more than 63,000
00:05:17displaced people. The most affected districts are Yabal
00:05:20Habashi with 21,018
00:05:23displaced people, Almaahfer with 12,642,
00:05:26and Yas Shabanjakin with about
00:05:308,250. The governorate of Ibb presented nearly
00:05:3326,400 displaced people, while
00:05:36Abyan, Hadhramaut, and Marib also record figures
00:05:39at the moment.
00:05:42Since September 3,
00:05:462026, the Saudi army has intensified its
00:05:49attacks, going from attacking strategic military structures to
00:05:53bombing civilian areas, schools, and homes, in order
00:05:57to continue punishing the resilience of the Yemeni people, who have
00:06:00resisted for 12 years the crimes against humanity of the Saudi
00:06:04kingdom.
00:06:13The correct solution is for them to stop their aggression against our country and
00:06:17end their siege of our people.
00:06:20This is a righteous demand, O people of the
00:06:23world, this is what
00:06:25we want, this is our cause, that
00:06:29the Saudis stop their aggression against us and attack
00:06:32us, and at the same time, that they end their siege
00:06:35of our people, because it is an unjust and brutal siege.
00:06:39That they stop depriving our people of their national wealth. It is the right
00:06:43of our people to defend themselves, their honor, their land,
00:06:46their independence, and their freedom, and this does not mean
00:06:50that we ignore other issues. We
00:06:52are firm in our principled positions on the stance against
00:06:56the enemies of our Islamic nation.
00:06:59According to reports from September 28,
00:07:02planes from the Saudi-led coalition attacked the
00:07:06Al-Raud school, located in the Taiz governorate, for the
00:07:09third consecutive time, under the excuse that the structure
00:07:13allegedly housed military material. However,
00:07:17no evidence was presented to prove that this
00:07:20was the case. The National Commission for Human Rights of the Asian
00:07:23country condemned the bombings and called them a
00:07:26war crime through a statement. The text
00:07:30reads as follows: The third bombing of a previously
00:07:33destroyed school confirms that we are facing a
00:07:36systematic policy of attacks against education and not a
00:07:40military error. They bomb the school three times,
00:07:44pretending to tell the children of Taiz that they have no right to
00:07:48life or education. Those
00:07:52the Al-Raud school, emphasizing that it is not an isolated
00:07:55incident but part of a systematic campaign of
00:07:58destruction that over 12 years has
00:08:02destroyed more than 2,775
00:08:04educational facilities in
00:08:06Yemen.
00:08:09It makes me sad when I see all these children who no longer study. They see
00:08:13their friends and classmates who at 10 years old can go to school and
00:08:16they stay there sitting staring into space. I see the
00:08:20desire to learn in these children, but they
00:08:23have no opportunities due to their economic
00:08:25situation.
00:08:28While fighting spreads across multiple fronts in Yemen, a
00:08:32displacement crisis is unleashed. According to
00:08:35the regional director of the IOM for the Middle East and North
00:08:38Africa, Othbeisi, as of
00:08:41September 29, the Taiz governorate hosts the largest
00:08:45number of displaced people with
00:08:4773,494.
00:08:52This displacement has had a great impact on the
00:08:55governorate and its resources. There is no
00:08:59sufficient capacity to accommodate the number of displaced
00:09:02people. We call on international and
00:09:06regional organizations to intervene quickly and meet their
00:09:09needs, including shelter, food,
00:09:13medicine, and education.
00:09:16UNHCR announced that it has provided emergency financial assistance
00:09:20to 200 displaced families and plans to provide
00:09:24immediate support to another thousand, given that
00:09:27more than 70% of displaced families in
00:09:31Yemen are in emergency shelters or in precarious
00:09:34conditions. At the same time, it assured that it would provide
00:09:38financial aid for housing to
00:09:41500 displaced families in the governorates of
00:09:45Aden and Lahij. In this context of migratory
00:09:48crisis, the UN Refugee Agency stated that
00:09:51it is sending from its global emergency reserve in Dubai 3,000
00:09:55basic item packages that include sleeping
00:09:59mats, blankets, solar lamps, cooking
00:10:02utensils, water containers, mosquito nets, and
00:10:06tarpaulins to help assist Yemeni families who are
00:10:09displaced. I insist, the populations that are suffering
00:10:12the most are those in the territories controlled
00:10:15by Saudi Arabia, Israel, and the United Arab
00:10:18Emirates, which are where the mercenary gangs are, and Saudi
00:10:22Arabia practically has no army of its own. They are
00:10:25all mercenaries, the same as the United Arab Emirates and all those
00:10:29monarchies of the Gulf. They are
00:10:31the sheikhs, who are lazy and do not work and do not even have an army, and for that
00:10:35they hire mercenaries from different countries.
00:10:38In the same way, the International Organization for
00:10:42Migration is assisting recently displaced families through the
00:10:45rapid response mechanism in terms of shelter,
00:10:49non-food items, and protection assistance.
00:10:52But at the same time, it supports the displaced with the cash-based
00:10:55intervention team that as of September
00:10:5822 had assisted some
00:11:011,159 families with food.
00:11:29Before becoming legends, they were just a man on the
00:11:32bench. Before the home run or the goal, there was a
00:11:36street, an empty lot, a dream without
00:11:39cameras. The diamond has memory, the
00:11:42court has soul. We
00:11:45tell the two passions that move the
00:11:48world. Goals at bat,
00:11:51because passion knows no seasons.
00:11:55Only on Telesur.
00:11:59Temperatures rise, rainfall patterns change, and
00:12:02drought advances. This is
00:15:09The Entisaf organization, focused on the defense,
00:15:12monitoring, and documentation of human rights violations suffered by women
00:15:16and children in Yemen, published a report titled Hidden
00:15:20Wounds Under the Ashes, on human rights that documents
00:15:24the psychological and social repercussions caused by the
00:15:27Saudi aggressions and the blockade suffered by the Yemeni population for
00:15:3112 years. According to the organization's report, displacement
00:15:35and the decrease in livelihoods have weakened family ties and
00:15:38social support networks, which poses new challenges for many Yemeni
00:15:42families when it comes to providing for their
00:15:45families. In addition, the organization reported that the
00:15:48ground and air bombings launched
00:15:51by the Saudi-led coalition since March
00:15:5426, 2015, have caused the death or
00:15:58mutilation of more than 11,000 children, which
00:16:01represents at least four children every
00:16:04day in Yemen. The Entisaf Organization
00:16:10for the Rights of Women and Children, in its latest report from September,
00:16:14stated that more than 8.8 million Yemeni children
00:16:18urgently need specialized protection services
00:16:21due to the increasing risks of sexual
00:16:25exploitation, child labor, and the worsening
00:16:28domestic and psychological violence, derived from the
00:16:31economic collapse caused by the commercial blockade induced by
00:16:34Saudi Arabia and its Zionist partners who, together with
00:16:38Washington, prevent medical supplies, food,
00:16:41and industrial equipment from reaching the
00:16:44inhabitants of the governorates controlled by the Houthis in
00:16:47Yemen.
00:16:49We have seen years of
00:16:53conflict in Yemen, pushing more than 12 million children into
00:16:57extreme situations. Unfortunately, this
00:17:00latest escalation has caused even more.
00:17:04In recent days, the death of nine children
00:17:07in Yemen was confirmed, and others were injured.
00:17:11We have confirmed that three children are still
00:17:15missing near Aden, so this is the entire
00:17:18situation regarding the victims. The situation
00:17:21in general is becoming increasingly terrifying for children
00:17:25and their
00:17:26families.
00:17:30According to the Entisaf organization's report, only
00:17:32120,000 people have access to mental health
00:17:36services annually, which means that approximately
00:17:396.8 million cases,
00:17:4298% of people with mental health
00:17:45disorders lack basic health services.
00:17:48Approximately 73% of children
00:17:51present symptoms of post-traumatic stress
00:17:54disorder as a result of the bombings and the
00:17:57brutal blockade imposed on the
00:17:59Asian country.
00:18:02Entisaf called on the international community to cease the
00:18:06aggressions and the blockade in all its forms by land, sea,
00:18:10and air, as well as all forms of economic and humanitarian
00:18:14pressure on the civilian population in Yemen, after
00:18:17publishing that, according to their statistical studies,
00:18:2080% of internally displaced people and that
00:18:2422.1% of those two age sectors
00:18:28suffer from some mental health disorder, that is,
00:18:31a society that
00:18:34well, a fifth, a fifth of the population
00:18:38is suffering from post-traumatic stress disorder,
00:18:41so what to do about that? Well, first
00:18:44of all, resort to,
00:18:47well,
00:18:51criminal complaints before the competent international tribunals,
00:18:54also global action invoking international
00:18:58universal law
00:19:01to condemn this.
00:19:04In addition, the United Nations Children's Fund, UNICEF, which
00:19:08operates in some areas in Yemen, reported that of the
00:19:13recent weeks, some 701 are children from the southwest
00:19:16of the country. To
00:19:19date, UNICEF has managed to assist 2,900 children, and
00:19:23one in four suffer from malnutrition, while at
00:19:26least 200 suffer from severe acute malnutrition,
00:19:29a product of the chaos of war and the blockade. And foreign
00:19:33powers always first aim to destroy the
00:19:37food and health distribution
00:19:40system, because that generates, well, the
00:19:43terrible humanitarian catastrophes that you just
00:19:46mentioned, but in reality, that is what they are looking for,
00:19:50because they are looking for fertile ground for
00:19:53mercenary gangs, foreign agents,
00:19:56and others to take possession of the territory and, above all,
00:20:00as I say, to harass in this case Yemen, which is on the other
00:20:03side, 30 kilometers away, to prevent it from taking control over the
00:20:07Bab el-Mandeb strait. Despite UNICEF and
00:20:11UNHCR's denunciations of crimes against humanity resulting from the
00:20:14bombings, the aggression continued on the part of Saudi
00:20:17Arabia. On September 18,
00:20:202026, Saudi fighter jets carried out 37
00:20:24airstrikes against civilian areas in the Yemeni provinces
00:20:27of Taiz and Hajjah. According to Sayyid Saree, the
00:20:31military spokesman for the Houthi Ansarullah Movement of
00:20:34Yemen. Uh, to date, sir. A society that has
00:20:38been bombed, subjected, well, to
00:20:40a terrible crime against humanity. All the
00:20:44elements, all the international laws, international
00:20:47law, have been violated.
00:20:50Uh, human
00:20:53rights, the Geneva Conventions, the 1977
00:20:57addenda to that convention, uh,
00:21:01well, all the protocols that exist have been violated, articles
00:21:0548, 52, 54,
00:21:0856 of those, of those, of those
00:21:11rules that establish that the
00:21:14destruction of civil infrastructure is considered
00:21:17a crime against humanity,
00:21:21a war crime. As
00:21:23retaliation against the blockade that Saudi Arabia has maintained against
00:21:27Yemen for 12 years, the Houthi army has
00:21:30maintained restrictions against the navigation of Saudi
00:21:33ships in the Red Sea and
00:21:37is part of a pressure strategy against Riyadh and a defensive
00:21:40action by the Houthis under the formula of blockade for
00:21:44blockade, escalation for escalation.
00:21:47These operations will continue until the demands of the Yemeni
00:21:51people are met and the reported violations against the country's
00:21:55territory cease.
00:21:58These defensive operations by Yemen have been misrepresented by Western
00:22:01media outlets that seek to impose a narrative
00:22:05that the Yemeni government blocks the entry of ships to all
00:22:09nations that trade in the Red Sea. These
00:22:13assertions were denied by the president of the Yemeni parliament,
00:22:16Yahya Ali Al-Ra'i, who affirmed that the events on the
00:22:20western coast of Yemen do not represent any threat
00:22:24to international maritime navigation.
00:22:27Now, regarding the ships, it is completely false,
00:22:31the embargo is selective, it is against the Saudis,
00:22:34against the United Arab Emirates,
00:22:38against Israel, against anyone
00:22:41who, well, threatens the
00:22:44sovereignty of Yemeni interests. It is the same as what happens in
00:22:47Hormuz. Iran does not attack any ship, it attacks
00:22:51those ships that join that war imposed
00:22:54by the United States and Israel. The same
00:22:58happens here in Bab el-Mandeb, so much so that
00:23:01the United States has not responded to the calls
00:23:05from Saudi Arabia for help.
00:23:07Saudi Arabia, despite all its economic power, and the United Arab
00:23:11Emirates are petro-monarchies
00:23:14with great capacity. And
00:23:18economically, they have not achieved it with the
00:23:22Houthis, who, if you look at them, have,
00:23:25well, an army of almost 400,000 men.
00:23:28No, the official stressed that his country is
00:23:32responsibly committed to the security of maritime routes
00:23:35and the freedom of international trade, but clarifies that
00:23:39as a coastal state of the Red Sea, it exercises independent
00:23:42control over its territorial waters and its
00:23:45coastline.
00:23:48The ideology they pursue is
00:23:50to liberate maritime passages, to exercise sovereignty over maritime
00:23:53passages, uh, uh, uh,
00:23:57it has a radical anti-Zionist, anti-imperialist, and national sovereign
00:24:00stance, so what to do about that,
00:24:04apart from judging it, well, the arms
00:24:07embargo, all mechanisms must be exercised for the United Kingdom,
00:24:11the United States, Israel to stop supplying weapons to this
00:24:15coalition of corporations, all
00:24:18matters of the sale of weapons,
00:24:21spare parts, intelligence
00:24:24assistance, technical
00:24:28advice, all of that are actions that the
00:24:32global south must take to contain this criminal
00:24:36war that, look, it is said to be
00:24:39one of the or is
00:24:42the biggest humanitarian crisis in the
00:24:45world. On September 16, the president of the
00:24:48parliament underlined Sana'a's commitment to guaranteeing the safe
00:24:52passage of all ships in Yemeni territorial waters, with
00:24:56the exception of ships linked to Saudi Arabia. The military
00:24:59advisor to the Yemeni Ministry of Defense, Brigadier General
00:25:03Abbed Mohamed Al-Taur, warned on September 25 that
00:25:06any military intervention by the United States in the Yemen
00:25:10conflict or any attempt to control the Bab el-Mandeb
00:25:13strait would provoke retaliation against American
00:25:16interests in the region.
00:25:20If it dares to support Saudi Arabia through bombings
00:25:24or air support, it will have opened a new front
00:25:27and ended the truce. We
00:25:30will confront it as we have done before and
00:25:33will consider all US interests
00:25:36surrounding us as military targets. We will
00:25:40exclude nothing, whether in Saudi Arabia, the Red
00:25:44Sea, the Gulf of Aden, the Arabian Sea, or the
00:25:47Indian Ocean, we will strike with
00:25:50an iron fist. The World Health Organization reported last
00:25:54September that the health emergency facing the Yemeni
00:25:58people is serious and that its emergency health operations center
00:26:01has recorded a total of 4,481
00:26:04deaths and thousands of injuries from August
00:26:076 to September 26. The Lahij
00:26:10governorate remains the most affected front, while
00:26:14Mudarrabah, Ras al-Arah, and the coast of Bab el-Mandeb
00:26:18recorded the highest number of daily casualties, followed by
00:26:21Taiz.
00:26:24The WHO warns that around 40% of displaced
00:26:27households on Yemen's west coast only have access to
00:26:31drinking water through unprotected wells or
00:26:34surface water, a third do not have lockable latrines, so the number
00:26:38of suspected cholera cases rose to
00:26:417,784 people. On September
00:26:4528, Yemeni media reported that Alcaeda General Hospital and
00:26:49other hospitals in the city, south of IIP, received more than 100
00:26:52dead who arrived after the raids east of
00:26:55Taiz. The intensification of the conflict in Yemen could
00:26:59increase the number of people who have been forced to
00:27:02flee both within the country and to Djibouti, Somalia
00:27:06and other countries. This was warned by UNHCR, the UN refugee agency.
00:27:10Before the escalation, more than 5.2 million people
00:27:14were displaced within Yemen. Currently,
00:27:17it is estimated that more than 22 million
00:27:21people need humanitarian assistance.
