ADEN, Jul. 25 (YPA) – Food prices in the occupied province of Aden have increased significantly as the Yemeni currency (riyal) continues to deteriorate, according to sources.

The price of basic materials continued to rise unprecedentedly. A sack of flour costs 27,000,000 riyals, the sack of sugar costs 32,000,000 riyals, and 20 liter of oil costs 29,000,000 riyals, the sources explained .

According to the sources, the increasing of price included many other goods and other essential items.

Aden residents described what is happening with the deadly increase that will wipe out the people in light of the continued salary cuts and high unemployment amid the great collapse of the currency caused by  Hadi’s government policies through printing of trillions of ryial without economic cash cover.
