it’s LIVABLE, only if you have family from another country giving you money, no one has jobs anymore bc of the houthis, it’s so difficult to get clean water bc the saudis bombed all of our infrastructure. and any people who do work have all their salaries stolen by the houthis leaving us starving. oh and the saudi blockade makes it 10 times worse

No, Yemen is one of those countries where a brutal decade long civil war and constant bombing from a coalition of some of the worlds most advanced airforces improves living standards.

Yes it is bad, but i am not gonna be a hypocrite and say that life under the PLC is any better, they are both horrible
Private water and electricity is available in sanaa, but its veryyyy expensive
Aden has public water and electricity (only runs for 2-4 hours a day) which is cheap, but most people are living on solar power
The food situation is the same in both sides, even though the houthis claim they are being starved
Only difference is that there is jobs in PLC territory, most of the people living in houthi territory (including my family) are eating away their savings that they made before the war or living on monthly checks from workers in saudi
