The worsening economic and living conditions in Yemen’s capital, Sanaa, have forced some residents to make difficult decisions, including selling burial plots reserved for their loved ones to meet basic needs.
Amid growing poverty, unpaid salaries, and dwindling savings, many are resorting to desperate measures for financial survival. Local sources report that cemeteries in Sanaa and nearby cities are facing severe overcrowding, with new burial sites allocated to specific groups.
Reports indicate that some cemetery caretakers are refusing new burials due to a lack of space, while others sell vacant graves at high prices, further burdening families struggling to find burial spots for their deceased.
This tragic situation highlights the deepening humanitarian and economic crisis in Sanaa, where residents face daily hardships, including the challenge of securing a final resting place for their loved ones.
