Small businesses in Yemen fall victim to both war and a currency crash

Adeelah Aqeel has been sewing clothes for two decades, and in early 2015 she decided to open a shop in Taiz city to start realising her dream.

Adeelah Aqeel has been sewing clothes for two decades, and in 2019 decided to re-open her shop selling bridal wear. “The shop now has almost stopped and I’m struggling to pay the rent which used to be YR 150,000 , but is now more than double.” Yasin Al-Kamel, 28, has been working in a small sports equipment and supplies shop in the city of Taiz since 2017. Yasin said that he used to earn a good income by taking advantage of most of the shops for sports equipment and supplies being closed because of the war.

Yasin doesn’t have any other source of income and is now jobless after closing. He hopes things will get better and he can reopen his shop one day.
