As the mercury takes a dip, biting cold reels across the Middle East, including some parts of Yemen. For four million war-displaced Yemenis, this is their sixth year anguishing in makeshift shelters and struggling to bring food to their children.
Abdu Ubadi is among them. He paddles across the city of Dhamar, from dawn to dusk, selling belts and secondhand clothes but barely earns enough to afford one meal a day, let alone buying extra blankets or warm clothes for his five children.
I met Abdu inside a cramped room he rents in Dhamar. One single room for the entire family. And he is not even sure he will be able to keep it as he is unable to pay the rent.
