In a war-damaged home near the contact lines north of the city of Taiz, the displaced Sarah Mohammed struggles to prepare food for her family of six. There are no windows to protect them from the winter cold, and there is no gas available for cooking, forcing her to spend hours gathering firewood and lighting a fire. When the price of a gas cylinder reached 30,000 riyals, many families had to use firewood, while some residents resorted to burning damaged car oils for cooking. Doctors warn of the dangers of fumes and toxic substances arising from their combustion, and of the serious illnesses and health complications they may cause, especially for children and the elderly. As for Musa, his work on his motorcycle has decreased due to the increase in fuel prices, and his income is no longer sufficient except for daily meal expenses. According to him, he must buy firewood at high prices, or risk collecting it from areas close to the contact lines. In the besieged Taiz, the difficulty of obtaining food, its high prices and the inability to supply the gas needed for cooking join the suffering of the families. With the decrease in the sources of income, preparing the meal is no longer just a burden, but a daily suffering that pushes the residents to expensive and dangerous alternatives, and turns the provision of the most basic necessities of life into a challenge that threatens their health and safety. Details, resident testimonies and doctors' warnings are in the report.
