    Taiz, Yemen – It was around the middle of the morning, and children at a nearby school were preparing for their break. But 11-year-old Hasnaa Jaber was walking through empty farmland on the outskirts of Taiz city, collecting discarded plastic bottles. Hasnaa lives with her impoverished family in an informal settlement for people displaced by the country’s more than decade-long war. Instead of going to school, she works alongside her family to help make ends meet. “My dream is to become a teacher

    Taiz, Yemen – Hiring a minibus to the Ragem village market, 70km (45 miles) from Taiz, has become a daily challenge for commuters from outlying areas.

They are united by a shared goal: securing a stable livelihood for their family and bringing a relatively new cuisine to the Yemeni city. The husband-wife team serves up burgers, fries, pizzas, and fried chicken, a common sight in cities across the world but less so in Taiz, which has been under siege and bombardment during Yemen’s civil war.

    Taiz, Yemen — It was around 5am in the Yemeni city of Taiz last week, with the morning’s quiet interrupted only by the tweeting of birds and a few construction workers leaving home for work. Then, an explosion shattered the calm and neighbours rushed to extinguish a large fire in Najib Abdullah’s home. The residents in the Beer Basha area of the city were rescued from the house, which was completely engulfed in flames, but had serious burns. They were taken to Al-Thawra General Hospital Authorit

    Taiz, Yemen – Ahmed Nagi, a Yemeni man in his 50s, had worked for more than 30 years as a porter in al-Turbah market in Taiz governorate before disaster struck. By helping shoppers carry goods from stalls to their cars, he earned enough money to provide a decent living for his family of seven.
