Sana'a is now almost a ghost city. Streets empty w/ only a few vehicles because skyrocketing fuel + gas keeping cars and public buses off the streets. For the few that can afford gas stations are seeing kilometre-lengthy queues. Public transport fares for the masses also tripled.

"The humanitarian situation in Yemen is extremely fragile and any disruption in the pipeline of critical supplies such as food, fuel and medicines has the potential to bring millions of people closer to starvation and death."

"The continued closure of Yemen’s borders will only bring additional hardship and deprivation with deadly consequences to an entire population suffering from a conflict that it is not of their own making."

Yemen's gas mainly sourced from Marib fields in central Yemen but internal supply routes closed leading to drastic price hikes and further economic hardship on Yemen's conflict affected population.

Household gas being bought off the streets in Sana'a. Yemenis stockpiling fearing shortages. https://t.co/oBWeugSSfh

Almost 21 million people are now in need of humanitarian aid in #Yemen because of conflict. That's 76% of the entire population. https://t.co/eLs6ehcTNC

Each day that hostitlies prolong and escalate in Yemen, we are going to have to deal with more and more humanitarian consequences and needs.
