The conflict in Yemen began in 2015 and continues to this day, leading to a deteriorating quality of life for millions of Yemenis. The suspension of salaries has significantly impacted livelihoods, resulting in the displacement of many who struggle to meet basic needs such as food, clean water, and healthcare. Millions of Yemenis are still seeking ways to live with dignity amidst dire circumstances.
Ali's story
Ali, from the Taiz Governorate, is a father of three . He used to have a home and livestock, sustaining his life through agriculture. However, on a fateful day, violence and threats engulfed his region, leading to an explosion near his home that caused a fire. The area became unsafe due to landmines, forcing him and the entire community to flee. Ali recounts, "Under the threat of arms, we were ordered to leave the area, leaving everything behind, walking for an hour under the burning sun, thirsty and starving, just to save our lives."
Ali fled from As-Salif to Hays, a distance of 211 kilometers. After an hour of continuous walking, he with his family found a vehicle that took them to Al Sunna Camp in Hodaydah, where his siblings and relatives had previously fled.
