Local sources and activists in the Yemeni capital Sanaa, which is controlled by the Iranian-backed Houthi coup militia, revealed a state of boiling over the escalation of humanitarian and economic crises in the city, which cast a shadow on the population who are on the verge of starvation, as well as the near collapse of pharmaceutical companies Because of militia practices.

The sources pointed to the presence of an unprecedented popular boil alarming the outbreak of a hungry revolution in Sanaa, prompting the Houthi militias to declare alert among its ranks, in anticipation of any protests may witness the city.

The sources confirmed that the streets of Sanaa are witnessing unprecedented movements of security crews belonging to the Houthi militias, which were deployed in the streets of several major capitals, and also worked to deploy checkpoints in the streets of Tahrir, Zubairi, Taiz, fifty, measles, airport, television, sixty north and west, and Baghdad Street, all areas of widespread popular boiling Against the background of high prices of consumer goods and the absence of oil derivatives and services, and the disbursement of salaries for the fourth consecutive year.

According to sources working in the field of medicine in Sana'a, the production lines were soon stopped due to the policies of the Houthi militias that they adopted in the Yemeni medicine market, including the opening of fake companies to smuggle medicine and flooding the local market with drugs of unknown origin.

The sources confirmed that the militias imposed large amounts of money on the drug companies, in addition to imposing a pharmaceutical policy that would lead them to close and stop production as a result of the entry of smuggled drug shipments by Houthi leaders or entities operating in the field of medicine supported by the Houthis, which led to flooding the local market in quantities. And varieties of medicine of unknown origin and contrary to the specifications and standards used by the General Authority for medicines and medical supplies of Yemen, which was controlled by the militias and made them work for their benefit.

The sources confirmed the decline in the production of medicine in all companies operating in areas controlled by the militias, after the prevention of the arrival of raw materials and oil derivatives to operate factories, in addition to imposing royalties and sums of money on companies and pharmacies targeted largely local product in order to make room for Houthi elements engaged in drug smuggling.

Sanaa has witnessed a severe gas crisis since the beginning of last September, and sources said that the gas crisis is contrived because of the militias seeking to raise prices, after it had previously decided to raise the prices of domestic gas to 4000 riyals per cylinder.

The crisis comes despite a recent announcement by the militia-controlled gas company that two ships carrying a total of 14,083 metric tons of liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) have arrived at Hodeidah port and that they will proceed with unloading, loading and distribution to the provinces, according to Al Arabiya's website.

Although more than a week has passed since the statement was issued, Sanaa is still experiencing a domestic gas crisis on the one hand, and a complete lack of gas used in transport vehicles, which sources attributed to differences between the leaders of Houthi militias and gas importers traders to determine the sale price.

The sources stressed that the militias seek to impose royalties on gas dealers and importers, who sell it at the stations for transport vehicles, and devote part of it to cover the needs of domestic gas for Yemeni citizens, which led traders to require a new price for the cylinder to be sold at the stations, which may reach More than 6000SAR

The sources added that the process of unloading, loading and delivery of gas from the port of Hodeidah has ended several days ago, but the differences between traders and leaders of the Houthi militias is the reason for not distributing gas to the stations, where the Houthis insist on imposing money on each cylinder sold by traders.

As the crisis intensified, the price of a gas cylinder on the black market in Sana'a reached 11,000 Yemeni riyals, and the militias resorted to open their own market through what it called the direct sale of citizens in the streets, where the cylinder is sold for 4500 riyals.

The gas crisis comes at a time when Sanaa is also experiencing a fuel crisis caused by militias, because of the control of Houthi supervisors on the distribution and sale of fuel on the black market.

• The gas crisis raises the price of the cylinder on the black market to 11 thousand Yemeni riyals.

• Sources: Militias opened fake companies to smuggle medicine and flood the market with unknown products.
