Sana'a - Saba:
The First Deputy Prime Minister, Allama Mohammed Muftah, inaugurated on Wednesday the Eid sacrifice distribution project implemented by the Martyrs' Foundation, targeting 1,500 of the most impoverished families of martyrs.
During the launch, Allama Muftah praised the efforts of the Martyrs' Foundation in executing numerous projects, including the Eid sacrifice initiative for martyrs' families, as part of the Economic Empowerment Project carried out by the foundation.
He called on philanthropists and merchants to support the Eid sacrifice project to enable the foundation to reach a larger number of martyrs' and missing persons' families.
For his part, Saleh Al-Khawlani, a member of the Yemeni Scholars Association, commended the Martyrs' Foundation's role in serving the families of martyrs, emphasizing that the Yemeni people today live under the blessings of their sacrifices in defending the homeland.
He noted that, thanks to the blood of the martyrs, Yemen stands today with greatness alongside their brothers in the Gaza Strip, supporting their just cause. He stressed the importance of continuing such projects and others in various fields, including education and health.
In turn, Hassan Jaran, the Executive Director of the Martyrs' Foundation, explained that the Eid sacrifice project targets 1,500 of the most impoverished families of martyrs across various provinces, with a total budget of 200 million Yemeni riyals.
He indicated that approximately 85% of the sacrifices will be distributed in-kind, except for four provinces: Lahj, Al-Dhale', Shabwa, and parts of Taiz.
Jaran pointed out that this year's project is distinguished by the fact that the sacrifices were purchased from the families of martyrs as part of the Economic Empowerment Project, supported by the Martyrs' Foundation, donors, and merchants.

The aid targets low-income families and workers across several districts, including Mukalla, Al-Shihr, Al-Raydah, Qusay'ir, Ghayl Bawazir, and Brom Mayfa'a. The campaign is being carried out in collaboration with the Zayed Foundation for Charitable and Humanitarian Works, aiming to enhance food security and ease economic hardship in a region grappling with prolonged instability.

In letter to Major General al-Ghamari, Chief of Staff of Izz ad-Din al-Qassam Brigades expresses pride in Yemen's heroic stance in support of Gaza Sana'a - Saba: Chief of the General Staff Major General Abdulkarim al-Ghamari on Saturday received a letter from the Chief of Staff of the Izz ad-Din al-Qassam Brigades, in response to the letter Major General al-Ghamari sent to Mujahideen of Izz ad-Din al-Qassam Brigades on the occasion of Eid al-Adha. The letter stated: We have received your generous letter, filled with sincere brotherhood, chivalry, and blessed Arab and Yemeni generosity, which came on the occasion of Eid al-Adha. What makes your words so impactful and appreciated is that they are accompanied by great practical stances and the unique jihadi heroism of our sincere brothers in Yemen, a land of wisdom and faith. Dear brother and friend, through you, we send our sincere greetings and appreciation to Mujahid leader Sayyed Abdulmalik al-Houthi, the Yemeni Armed Forces, and our great brotherly Yemeni people from your Mujahidin brothers on the land of resistance in Gaza. Gaza is the crown of Mujahidin and the frontier of Islam advancing against the infidel Nazi Zionism. We extend to you and your brothers, on behalf of every Mujahid who carries his soul in his hand, and every steadfast defender of his homeland, waiting to fight his enemy, and on behalf of every individual among our patient, afflicted, and proud people, our sincere congratulations on these blessed days and in this sacred month of Allah. We thank Allah that we have reached Eid al-Adha while we and you are in the best of positions beloved by Allah and His Messenger: positions of jihad and fighting in His cause, martyrdom, and sacrifice of blood, soul, wealth, and all that we possess for the sake of the Night Journey of our noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him and his family) and our Holy Land. We remain steadfast in our covenant, Allah willing, that neither those who have let us down nor those who have afflicted us will harm us until Allah's promise comes to pass, by His permission. What fills us with pride is your great heroic stance, which will be recorded in history and passed down through the generations in letters of light on the pages of glory and pride. From before and after history, God will not let your struggle, faith and sacrifices go to waste, especially when you stood tall like mountains in the face of the forces of injustice and tyranny. You paid a heavy price, befitting great men like you, for supporting your brothers in Gaza in word and deed. You were the most prominent arena in the nation in terms of progress in fighting, confrontation, military support, million-man demonstrations, and a resounding, blessed voice in all arenas of support and dignity. You truly embodied the words of God Almighty: "And those who believed and emigrated and strove in the cause of God and those who gave shelter and aided - those are the believers, truly. For them is forgiveness and noble provision." May God grant us and you righteous deeds, acts of obedience, jihad, sacrifices, and acts of devotion. We ask God to elevate the ranks of our martyrs and yours, grant healing to the wounded, freedom to the prisoners, and victory to our nation and people. Until we meet again in the courtyards of the blessed Al-Aqsa Mosque, liberated and purified, God willing. "And that Day the believers will rejoice in the victory of God. He gives victory to whom He wills, and He is the Ex Exalted in Might, the Merciful." And may you have a happy new year. May God's peace, mercy, and blessings be upon you.
