Storyline:

Markets of Taiz witnessed a decline in the number of shoppers, coinciding with the start of the month of Ramadan, due to several reasons, foremost of which are the state of war and siege in the city, the difficult economic situation, which was exacerbated by the interruption of salaries and basic services, and the significant rise in the prices of most products, especially foodstuff.

“We don’t see the usual happiness in Taiz with the start of the blessed month of Ramadan, due to the difficult economic situation, the interruption of salaries, the absence of the role of the local authorities in controlling prices in the markets,”

 (SOUNDBITE) Maymouna Al-Bakari – Media Activist:

“The joy of the people of Taiz is missing due to the rise in foodstuff prices, and also because of the wars. The happiness was not, as usual, we just try to keep pace with life.”
