Thousands of Yemenis took to the streets in support of the Houthi rebels fighting against the Saudi-led coalition on Friday.

Tens of thousands of Houthi supporters protested against the Saudi-led coalition’s airstrikes on Yemen.

Saudi Arabia and its gulf Arab allies have carried out thousands of bombing raids in Yemen since march 2015 in a campaign to try to restore the ousted administration government Of President Abd-Rabbu Mansour Hadi.

The Houthi movement has criticised the Saudi-led coalition for targeting Yemeni ports in their airstrikes which led to the blockage of supply routes.

Shortage of medical supplies has been evident in Yemen as Unicef has warned that Yemen could be losing a decade’s worth of gains in public health as a result of the ongoing war and economic crisis.
