Families in Sanaa are bracing for higher food and transport costs after the first fuel price increase in four years, according to Al Jazeera. The price hike comes as Yemen's economy continues to suffer from both the ongoing domestic conflict and spillover effects from the wider regional war involving the Houthis.
