Dozens of merchants and street vendors gather on Mondays each week to display local and imported goods and products at an outdoor discount market in a neighborhood, north of the capital Sana'a. From early morning until noon, they offer shoppers low-quality and cheap goods and products that most of the Yemen population need amid high prices and low purchasing power due to the severe economic crisis that has swept the war-torn country since 2015. The market includes vegetables, legumes, spices, household items, fabrics, clothing, women's hand bags and accessories, blankets, shawls and toys. More than half of Yemen's population of 30 million are severely food insecure as the rate of poverty has increased due to over nine years of war, according to the United Nations. EPA/YAHYA ARHAB
