Yemenis have taken part in a mass rally in protest at Saudi Arabia’s ongoing airstrikes against the impoverished country.

Thousands of people took to the streets of Yemen’s capital Sana’a on Sunday to decry Saudi Arabia’s bombing campaign, which has recently entered its third year.

"The people of Yemen are fully prepared to confront aggression no matter what its size, whatever its potential. The Yemeni people depend on God Almighty and rely on God and depend on the self-development that develops day after day, one period after another," said a protester.

"Men at the front of the army and the popular committees are facing aggression on foreign fronts. We also have a duty to confront those who work with this aggression from within," added another protester.
