Storyline
Residents of Taiz held a sit-in denouncing hard living conditions in the city since the war outbreak amid international silence. They appealed to the world to take an action to lift the siege imposed on the city by the Houthis. They also demanded to provide them with basic living requirements and necessities, primarily food.

– Soundbite (Mohammad Ameen – participant in the sit-in):
“We in Taiz suffer from the siege of the Houthi militias on our city, the shortage of gas and diesel, and the high prices, especially foodstuffs. It is a severe crisis we are living in.”
– Soundbite ( Saddam Al – Salwi – participant in the sit-in):
“For the eighth consecutive year, Taiz is suffering from a blockade, which caused a humanitarian crisis. We lack basic services including electricity and clean water. Salaries are not paid since eight months. The value of our currency is depreciating. We suffer from insanely high prices. Our salaries cannot afford a flour bag. Famine ravages the governorate of Taiz and the world is silent. “
