The humanitarian situation is continuing to worsen due to the unabated  war as Yemen is continuing to suffer from lacks of supplies and basic services such as fuels and electricity for the sixth straight month.

In its report on the situation during September, the studies and economic media center, said the prices of basic products rose by 15.92% in September up from August in the capital Sanaa, Taiz and Hodeida.

However, the prices dropped  in the cities of Aden, Hadramout and Marib by 23.87%, 6.33% and 1.43% respectively, it said.

The report covered the cities of Sanaa, Taiz, Hodeida, Aden, Hadramout and Marib.   

Basic food items, including wheat, rice, sugar, milk, and cooking oil,  were relatively available in target governorates, barring Marib, where such products are in short supply, according to the report.

Moreover, lacks of fuels persist in the cities of Sanaa, Hodeida and Taiz where the prices of small quantities available at the black market have increased by more 300%, it said.  

The several-months conflict including a blockade on all sea, land and air routes has left around 80% of Yemen's population in need of emergency aid.

The blockade was part of the Saudi-led military intervention launched against the Houthi militants in late March. It has halted all exports and imports as international organizations say Yemen used to import around 90% of its foodstuffs.   

The lacks of supplies especially fuels and medicines have deepened the suffering of the people as they have forced healthcare facilities to shut down. Aid agencies have said that around 10 million people need urgent medical help.  

The ongoing battles have been preventing agencies from delivering relief aid to the affected people.
