Al-Mahriya publishes accounts of cooking-gas shortages and eroding purchasing power
Al-Mahriya published a new report featuring residents and a local journalist on living conditions in Taiz. One resident said a gas cylinder sells for 30000 to 40000 rials on the black market, while journalist Mohammed al-Wajih described shortages of some goods and mounting water and transport costs. The accounts concern a deterioration over the past month, not changes all occurring during this monitoring hour. We have not independently verified the prices or how representative these accounts are.
