Economic hardship dims Eid al-Adha celebrations for Yemeni people
As Eid al-Adha approaches, millions of Yemenis are being forced to choose between religious tradition and economic survival, with soaring livestock prices placing the cost of sacrifice beyond the reach of many households. The Islamic holiday, set to begin on Friday, is typically marked by the slaughter of goats, sheep, or cattle. But after years of conflict and economic collapse, what was once a joyful occasion has become a source of anxiety for families struggling to meet basic needs. In livestock markets on the outskirts of Aden, prices for sacrificial animals have surged. Sheep now sell for between 140 and 170 dollars, while goats fetch more than 230 U.S. dollars, traders said, prices well beyond the means of most families. "The collapse of the riyal and rising transport costs have crushed people's purchasing power," said Fahed Baleed, a livestock trader in Aden. The Yemeni currency has fallen to 2,535 riyals to the U.S. dollar, prompting some traders to price livestock in foreign currency. The economic strain is forcing families to forgo long-held religious practices. "I will only buy what my children need to eat," said Umm Mazen, a mother of four who cannot afford to purchase a sacrificial animal this year. Hamzah, a taxi driver, said he had spent a year saving for Eid but had to use the money when his child became ill. "This Eid, I'll only buy a chicken," he said. "I just can't afford a sheep." The hardship extends to other aspects of the holiday. Prices for children's clothing have increased by more than 150 percent since last year, prompting many families to make do with what they already have. "My salary doesn't cover even our basic needs," said Salah Hamady, a government employee. "New clothes for the children are out of reach, so my wife will wash and reuse last year's." Economic researcher Ramzy Sultan described the situation as a "total collapse" of Yemen's economic structure, attributing it to years of failed financial policies, institutional fragmentation, and prolonged conflict. Without urgent intervention, he warned, conditions would continue to deteriorate. The muted holiday reflects broader humanitarian challenges in Yemen, where more than 17 million people -- nearly half the population -- are expected to face acute food insecurity this year, according to the United Nations. Most are in Houthi-controlled northern regions. The war, now in its second decade, has triggered what the United Nations calls the world's worst humanitarian crisis. Despite repeated mediation efforts, a lasting peace remains elusive.

Yemenia Holds Some of Its Offices Legally Responsible for Rejecting Tickets Issued from Sana'a
Sana'a-Saba: Yemenia has declared its categorical rejection of any practices that violate the rights of passengers by some of its offices, both domestically and abroad. In a statement received by the Yemeni News Agency (Saba), Yemenia affirmed that there is no legal or professional justification for the refusal to accept tickets issued by the company's offices in Sana'a by some of its offices, both domestically and abroad. The statement warned that these individual actions are subject to legal accountability under international civil aviation laws. The statement expressed regret for the irresponsible practices that some passengers were subjected to, which contradict the company's ethics and principles. The statement considered the travel ticket a binding contract that obligates the company to fulfill its obligations until the passenger reaches their final destination. The statement called on all passengers who have encountered similar situations to file official complaints with the relevant authorities, document the cases, and report them to ensure that the perpetrators are held accountable. Regarding the Sana'a-Amman route, Yemenia categorically denied allegations that sales were restricted to Sana'a offices, asserting that reservations and sales were available to all its offices and agents inside and outside Yemen. This was evidenced by the collection of more than $2.5 million in the first quarter of 2025 to the company's accounts in Aden for tickets sold on this route. The company stated that "all operational costs associated with this route—including aircraft fuel, ground services at Queen Alia Airport, and transit fees through Saudi and Jordanian airspace—are fully paid by the company's general management in Sana'a." Yemena Airways emphasized that attempts by some of its members to politicize corporate work and abuse their powers in an unprofessional manner will not succeed in disrupting the company's national role, affirming its continued service to all Yemenis without exception or discrimination.
