Yemen: Natural event in Tazm
In a war-damaged home near the front lines north of Tazm, the displaced Sara Muhammad struggles to prepare food for her family of six. There are no windows to protect them from winter cold, and no gas available for cooking, forcing her to spend hours gathering firewood and starting fires. With the price of a gas cylinder rising to 30,000 riyals, many families have been forced to use firewood, while some residents have turned to burning used motor oil for cooking. Doctors warn of the dangers of smoke and toxins produced by burning it, and the serious health complications it may cause, especially for children and the elderly. As for Musa, his work on his motorcycle has declined due to rising fuel prices, and his income is now barely enough to cover daily meal expenses. He says he is forced to buy firewood at high prices or risk collecting it from areas near the front lines. In besieged Tazm, families' suffering doubles between difficulties obtaining food, high prices, and inability to provide necessary cooking gas. With declining income sources, preparing a meal is no longer just a financial burden, but daily suffering forcing residents to expensive and dangerous alternatives, making securing the most basic components of life a challenge threatening their health and safety.
