Yemen is facing serious economic problems which have been exacerbated by ten months of anti-government protests and fighting. The country was deeply impoverished even before the latest unrest and with rising prices of food, gas and water, the poor are getting increasingly desperate.
A young Yemeni man: ambitious, dedicated, enthusiastic and hard working. I believe in our abilities to create a better future for ourselves and our children through changing ourselves and the current repressive regime. This blog means the start for me. I believe in living for others to live a better life. If you can give a hand to somebody to find themselves in their community, please do not wait- just do it. I am looking for your comments on how we can be better citizens in this world.

YEMEN: Living in a cave, cut off from aid
SANA'A, 2 November 2011 (IRIN) - Several dozen families in the Arhab region of Yemen have fled violence in their home areas and sought shelter in nearby caves, but the move has left them desperately needing aid, especially food.
Ali Hezam Salah, 37, who has taken refuge with his wife and four children in a cave overlooking Shaab village, said the last time they had a donation of food was in the final week of Ramadan - two months ago. The donation, comprising 50kg of wheat, 10kg of sugar, 30kg of beans and 10 litres of cooking oil, came from a local NGO, the Charitable Society for Social Welfare.

YEMEN: Why malnutrition could get worse
ABU DHABI, 1 November 2011 (IRIN) - The political upheaval in Yemen has made it harder for ordinary people to find enough food to eat, raising the prospect of increasing malnutrition, a top official in the Ministry of Agriculture and Irrigation said.
