It is a war time in Yemen and the worst times of unprecedented deteriorated living conditions that Yemenis have been going through for almost two years when the armed conflict erupted.

Poverty is rife, famine is broadening and war has added unbearable burdens on shoulders of people to whom and whose basic needs, the government and defacto authorities turned a blind eye and get more indulged in the conflict.

Speaking about this, Abdullah explained that he has been unpaid for two months and, therefore, could not meet his family needs.

Houthi de facto authorities in Yemen’s capital have yet paid the wages of government employees without giving any justifications.

“it’s been two months without wages, no time specified to be paid and to dodge out from embarrassing of debts, I, thus, have got a new post of Qat leaves vendor just like my friend who found this work is better than lecturing at the university.” Said Abdullah at in Facebook account on Tuesday.

Many of the displaced continue to live with host families, placing additional strain on scarce resources, or renting shelter, which becomes challenging as rental prices increase, displacement becomes protracted, and savings depleted.
