In Aden, Drinking Water Continues To Be Cut Off From Citizens’ Homes

Residents in Yemen’s southern port city of Aden expressed their deep dissatisfaction with the stifling water crisis that afflicts many residential neighborhoods in the city, local sources said

According to the sources, drinking water has been cut off from their homes for months, amid a significant increase in the prices of mobile water tanks, the value of which exceeds the citizens’ purchasing power.

The sources pointed out that the water crisis burdened them, especially in light of the cut off of salaries, high prices, lack of fuel and other suffocating crises.

The water crisis is added to the rest of the other crises experienced by the Saudi-Emirati controlled areas, whose citizens lack the most basic necessities of life such as water, electricity, health, education and other economic, living and service areas.

On Wednesday, hundreds of angry protesters blocked the road linking Hadhramaut and Mahrah governorates, in eastern Yemen.
