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.

Extensive preparations underway at Capital Sana'a's slaughterhouses to provide sacrificial animal slaughtering services to citizens
Sana'a - Saba: The Office of the Slaughterhouses and Meat Markets Corporation in the Capital Sana'a has intensified its efforts and preparations to prepare public slaughterhouses to receive sacrificial animals and provide the best services to citizens. The office developed an early preparedness plan and announced the readiness of slaughterhouses and their willingness to provide services to all beneficiaries. This includes the central slaughterhouse in Dar Salm and the model slaughterhouse in Nuqum, primarily for large slaughterhouses, as well as other livestock. Sub-slaughterhouses in the districts include Shu'ub, Jawlat Taiz, Dhafar, Haddah, Sana'a, al-Tahrir, Street 20, Daris, Beit al-Noum, and al-Rawdah. The preparedness plan included providing all facilities and qualified personnel to the central and sub-slaughterhouses, enabling them to perform their services efficiently and in accordance with health standards. Preventive measures were also implemented to ensure the safety of slaughtered animals and their suitability for human consumption. The Slaughterhouses Office in the Capital Sana'a has also prepared three daily work programs during Eid al-Adha for inspection and veterinary inspection teams at all the capital's main ports, the central slaughterhouse, and the slaughterhouse areas in the districts. This is part of a general plan to preserve livestock, implement approved health regulations and conditions, combat violations, and improve the environmental situation. The plan includes a mechanism for regulating the reception of all sacrificial animals from citizens, associations, and organizations, enhancing health oversight of livestock and ensuring their safety before and after slaughter, and monitoring field inspection teams to detect violations related to the slaughter of young and female livestock, as well as random slaughter in streets and neighborhoods, in coordination with the directorates, Slaughterhouses Office branches, and security agencies. In this regard, Ahmed Idris, Director of the Slaughterhouses and Meat Markets Corporation Office in the Capital Sana'a, confirmed to the Yemeni News Agency (Saba) that 12 slaughterhouses have been equipped to receive and slaughter Eid sacrifices according to health and safety standards. They also inspect slaughtered animals before and after slaughter, and dispose of slaughter waste in a safe and sanitary manner. He pointed out that all slaughterhouse needs, including equipment, cleaning tools, inspection, sterilization, and water, have been provided. Qualified workers and veterinarians are also on hand to inspect the sacrificial animals and ensure their safety and freedom from any infectious diseases. To preserve cleanliness and the environment, Idris called on citizens to take advantage of these slaughterhouses and refrain from slaughtering their animals in the streets and neighborhoods. This is to preserve public hygiene and prevent the spread of diseases caused by waste. He emphasized that field campaigns will be implemented to detect any violations. He also noted the need to enhance community awareness by distributing brochures and posters to citizens, informing them of the conditions for sacrificial animals, the health of sacrificial animals, the proper handling of their meat, the conditions for sacrificial animals, and the importance of slaughtering in official slaughterhouses and maintaining cleanliness. The Director of the Slaughterhouses Office addressed the inspection efforts during the first quarter of 2025, including field campaigns targeting 15,988 meat shops and centers across the Capital Secretariat's various districts. During these campaigns, 376 reports were issued for various violations, 52 violations were referred to the Public Prosecution, 38 heads of cattle and 255 poultry were confiscated and destroyed, 63 weight violations were detected, and 39 execution certificates and destruction reports were issued. He reported that Sana'a Slaughterhouses Corporation branch conducted field inspections last year to prevent the slaughter of female and young livestock. These campaigns included 2,495 shops and 857 restaurants. 560 violations were detected, 46 violations were referred to the Public Prosecution, 29 female livestock were confiscated, and 16 shops were subject to administrative closure. Idris explained that a project to rehabilitate and maintain the slaughterhouse at the central slaughterhouse in Dar Salm has been implemented, at a cost of 61 million and 263 thousand YER, funded by the Agricultural and Fisheries Projects Financing Unit in the Capital Sana'a. He also indicated that a contract was signed for the project to purchase and supply equipment and machinery for the slaughterhouse at the central slaughterhouse, at a cost of 82 million YER. He noted that a project to maintain and rehabilitate the feed factory at the central slaughterhouse in Dar Salm is currently underway, at a cost of 128 million and 690 thousand YER, funded by the Agricultural Projects Unit.
