High price of bread causes great popular discontent in Aden

ADEN, Jun. 13 (YPA) – The rise in the price of loaf of bread in Aden city, southern Yemen, has angered the citizens, who expressed their dissatisfaction and anger at the difficult living situation.

This came due to the failure of “Hadi government” loyal to the Saudi-led coalition controlling the province.

Citizens said: “The price of the bread suddenly increased despite the assurances of the Hadi government to control the prices,” as it rose from 30 riyals to 40 riyals per one loaf.

They expressed their dissatisfaction and anger at the high prices of the bread and the reduction in its size, which caused fatigue for many families who need to double the amount allocated to buy bread on a daily basis.

The owners of the bakeries argue that the increase in the price of bread is due to the rise in flour and gas prices.

The city of Aden, controlled by the coalition, is witnessing a crazy rise in prices of various food and consumer products compared to the capital, Sanaa, which enjoys almost relative stability in prices.
