OSRO/YEM/504/EC: Enhanced Rural Resilience in Yemen.

17 April 2017, Al Hudaydah, Yemen - More than two years of war have taken a particularly harsh toll on women and girls who are typically the last to eat. Hosseinia Ahmed Amir, 50, keeps a few goats for fattening. She colllects grass from nearby fields to feed her animals. Before the conflct escalated, a fattened goat would sell for 20 000 or 30 000 Yemeni rial. Now, because salaries are not being paid and incomes have dropped, a fattened goat now sells for 10 000 to 12 0000 rials. "Sometimes we have two meals a day," she says. Sometimes we have three meals a day. At the end of every meal we are all still hungry."
