The city of Taiz (southwest Yemen) witnessed a women-led protest on Saturday in front of the governorate building, denouncing the deterioration of basic services, particularly water and electricity outages and worsening living conditions.
The demonstrators held up signs calling on local authorities and the government to take responsibility for citizens’ needs and to provide at least the minimum essential services, especially as summer approaches and temperatures rise.
