After 12 years of control by the Houthi movement, the economic and daily life in Sana'a has significantly deteriorated. Families now rely on small, fragmented purchases of essentials due to diminished purchasing power, with some unable to buy enough food for days or weeks. Many households depend on additional income from outside work, small trades, and remittances, which in 2024 reached approximately 7.4 billion dollars—over 38% of Yemen's GDP—underscoring their importance. Economic hardships have forced families to sell assets such as gold and land, and children are increasingly leaving school to work, reflecting a broader decline in living standards and the collapse of institutional and financial systems. Overall, the situation highlights the severe impact of war, economic disintegration, and resource mismanagement on the daily lives and future prospects of Yemenis in Sana'a.
