Yemen’s damaged roads complicate water access for Taiz villagers

Commuters in Ragem, Yemen, face daily challenges accessing the village market 70 km from Taiz due to unpaved roads, leading many to walk 6 km or pay exorbitant fares for four-wheel-drive transport. In response, local volunteers initiated a grassroots project three years ago to repair the roads, successfully paving over 124 meters recently. Additionally, residents have improved water access by drilling a well equipped with solar power, addressing critical needs amid ongoing humanitarian challenges.
