The western-backed and Saudi Arabia/ UAE-led war on Yemen has crippled the country’s economy for the past eight years, and there seems to be not much hope for improvement, especially with the internationally recognised Presidential Council downgrading and diminishing the areas under their control economically, politically and socially.

To make matters worse in the Saudi Arabia and UAE-backed government areas, the Yemeni Rial hit its all-time low against the dollar recently.

With temperatures soaring above a blistering 43 degrees Celsius, and power cuts extending to 4-5 hours, many families seek respite from the stifling heat by retreating to the beaches during the hottest time of the day.

The impact of the power outages also extends to businesses, which have suffered significant losses as shops and restaurants are unable to operate without a steady supply of electricity.businesses in Aden have resorted to using power generators, leading to increases in commodity prices to cover the additional costs.

This price hike further burdened the citizens of Aden, who are already struggling with the economic challenges caused by the years-long military conflict. Many employees have not received their salaries from the government for months due to Yemen’s ongoing conflict and economic crisis.
