Yemenis in Lebanon also took part in the protest to tell the world that they will not succumb to the Saudi aggressive policies.Lebanese and Palestinians expressed sympathy for Yemenis under the Saudi attacks as they say they have also suffered atrocities, which are committed against them by Israel.

Lebanese people held the pro-Yemen demonstration in front of the UN headquarters in Beirut to make the international community hear their voices. These people have a thorough understanding of what’s going on in Yemen as they have witnessed Israeli wars that bear resemblances to that of Saudi Arabia against Yemen; a similarity that international human rights bodies have acknowledged.
