Yemenis gathered outside the airport in the capital, demanding an end to the Saudi blockade

The article reports on a gathering of Yemeni citizens outside the main airport in Sana'a, where they demanded the end of the Saudi-led blockade. The event was triggered by the recent landing of an Iranian civilian aircraft, which transported over 200 Yemeni nationals, including patients and diplomats, after being blocked for months. The flight was described as a bold move, with calls to remove all restrictions on airport operations immediately. Airport authorities stated that reopening the airport is a legitimate right of the Yemeni people and urged armed groups to support this right through force if necessary. The blockade, imposed by Saudi Arabia since August 2016, has disrupted humanitarian aid, caused economic hardship, and worsened the country’s crisis. Despite limited flights during certain periods, the airport remains under frequent closures and attacks. It serves as the primary air hub for Yemen, serving around 80% of the population, with shortages of fuel and medicine affecting hospitals and water systems.
