Sunday, 21 Jumada al-Akhira 1446 AH corresponding to December 22, 2024 AD, the bodies of nine martyrs from the workers of the Yemeni Red Sea Ports Corporation and the Oil Company were buried in the city of Hodeidah. They were martyred in the crime of targeting the ports of Al-Salif and Ras Issa by the Zionist aggression last Thursday, 18 Jumada al-Akhira 1446 AH corresponding to December 19, 2024 AD.
An official funeral ceremony was held for the bodies of the martyrs with the participation of the Minister of Transport and Public Works, Mohammed Qahim, the Governor of Hodeidah, Abdullah Atifi, Dr. Hussein Maqbouli, the First Deputy Governor, Ahmed Al-Bishri, the Deputy Governors, the Chairman of the Red Sea Ports Corporation, Mr. Zaid Ahmed Taha Al-Washli, and his deputy, Mr. Nasr Abdullah Al-Nusairi, a number of military, security and local leaders, social figures, colleagues and relatives of the martyrs, a crowd of citizens, and employees of the ports and the Oil Company.
The mourners praised the steadfastness of the workers in the Red Sea ports, who crown the fruits of jihad for the sake of Allah and the interest of the Yemeni people, with these great sacrifices, stressing that the Zionist rampage of targeting civilian objects is a desperate attempt to dissuade Yemen from its position supporting the Palestinian people.
The mourners considered the Zionist terrorism with unlimited American and Western support, and the repeated crimes of bombing and destroying Yemeni ports, to be part of the bloody record of the Israeli enemy entity against the Yemeni and Palestinian peoples.
They expressed pride in the sacrifices made by Al-Hodeidah Governorate within the framework of Yemen’s supportive stance towards the oppressed Palestinian people, stressing that Yemen and its free sons will continue to support the Palestinian people until the Israeli aggression on Gaza stops.
They called on the United Nations, the international community and the International Court of Justice to do their duty towards the terrorist crimes that the Yemeni people’s ports were subjected to, as they are war crimes, genocide, killing civilians and destroying the capabilities of the Yemeni people, aiming to starve them.
The funeral ceremonies for the martyrs took place after prayers for them in Al-Rida Mosque in Al-Hodeidah city, to be buried in the Martyrs’ Garden in the governorate center and some in their hometowns.
