Crossing mountains to get food and water.

Conflicts and Disasters

Traders in Taiz said that higher prices in active combat areas mean that many people are forced to travel long distances outside the city to purchase commodities at a lower price. They often travel along treacherous mountain paths in order to avoid checkpoints and return with the food ‘on their backs, exposing themselves to the risk of being shot by snipers’, one trader told Oxfam.Photo: Courtesy of ReutersTake action!

The conflict that broke out in Yemen in March 2015 has been putting basic necessities such as food and water out of reach for thousands of Yemenis. Escalating conflict in the country is making a dire humanitarian situation worse. We must do all we can to push for a permanent and immediate ceasefire.
