However, these displaced families did not receive any humanitarian aids or relief aids from any party or institution public or private. Therefore, they are suffering from the bad natural conditions. CHR wants to inform in his report that the main factor of the suffering in this city is the disappeared of 67 thousand public and private employees’ salaries since 10 months. CHR added,what has been given to some of the employees in the education office and some of the Taiz University employees before was only a salary of one month, and the ignoring of the rest in the other offices kept the suffering in the city without any real change.

There are a lot of citizens (children, women, old men, adults and men) crowed by the doors of these empty units and centers. In addition to, the huge number of injured citizens (children, women, old men, adults and men) who are laying there, too. Not only that, also the spreading of the epidemic diseases between the citizens like Cholera left 1786 person affected or might be affected according to the last month statistics. But no one take it in his consideration from the responsible personalities in the Yemeni Government… Added, there is a lack of the medical aids offered by INGOs to this city which includes a big number of affected people.
