The Yemeni authorities are racing against time to finish the repair works to power pylons in order to restore electric power which has been absent for months.
Three power pylons were damaged during the battles between the pro-government and pro-Houthi forces in Marib province, two of which have been already fixed, the public electricity corporation said in a statement on Tuesday.
The technicians are exerting major efforts to enter to the site and fix or replace the third pylon, it said, pointing out that in case the problem with this pylon was resolved, power will resume in the next two days.
Yemen has been without electricity for more than two months coinciding with lacks of fuels, cooking gas, wheat and other key supplies.
In addition to the battles which put the country's main power plant, the Marib gas-fired plant, out of function, the lack of fuels forced other power stations to shut down.
The lacks of supplies have been blamed on a blockade by the Saudi-led Arab coalition which has been conducting airstrikes against the Houthi militants since late March.
The authorities are seeking to restore power during Ramadan the fasting month which will begin this Thursday.
This year Ramadan comes amid a humanitarian catastrophe.
In case the Geneva talks between the government and the Houthi militants did not reach a ceasefire, people's suffering will be much worse because of the ongoing confrontations in many cities.
