Aden and freed areas face gas and black market issues
Since more than six months, Aden and the liberated Yemeni provinces have been experiencing a domestic gas crisis, with prices reaching record levels. In Aden, the price for a 20-liter cylinder has risen to approximately 14,000 riyals in the black market, due to hoarding, smuggling, and speculation. Citizens are struggling to obtain gas, facing long queues and turning to the black market at high prices, despite ongoing supplies from the Safir facility in Ma'rib. Analysts believe that the crisis reflects disruptions in the transportation and distribution system, as well as smuggling activities. Currently, there are calls to activate the Buraim Gas Plant and utilize it to alleviate shortages, ensure stable supplies, and set reasonable prices.
