Gas crisis hits Taiz

TAIZ, Oct, 21 (YPA) – Citizens in Taiz province have been suffering as a result of the suffocating gas crisis for several weeks.

Local residents stand in a  long queue in front of filling stations and gas cylinder sales centres due to scarce quantities available and high prices.

Citizens blamed the local authority for exacerbating the crisis, demanding an end to their  suffering and find a radically solution to this crisis.

The gas crisis in Taiz province has been exacerbated by the cuts and levies carried out by armed groups of the Islah party on gas tankers on the one hand and the sale of the province’s quotas on the black market on the other.

Most of the citizens have resorted to lumbering or buying firewood from local markets .
