During the ten-year war in Yemen, hundreds of thousands of Yemeni women were forced to sell their jewelry and gold in order to cope with the difficult living conditions, especially in light of the interruption of employees’ salaries, the lack of job opportunities, the low purchasing power of the Yemeni riyal, and the insane rise in the prices of basic commodities.

The General Syndicate of Medical and Health Professions in Aden announced the start of a comprehensive strike starting yesterday, Tuesday, December 3, 2024, in protest against the deterioration of living conditions and the delay in paying salaries for the third consecutive month.
