Dozens of merchants close their shops in Aden

ADEN, July 12 (YPA) – Dozens of merchants on Wednesday closed the doors of their shops to citizens due to the high prices of goods in the city of Aden, controlled by the coalition in southern Yemen.

Activists from the city’s residents reported that a number of shops were closed to residents in Sheikh Othman area in anticipation of a new rise in food prices, after the selling price of the US dollar reached 1,470 riyals during the past hours due to the coalition’s destructive policy for the Yemeni economy.
