The Yemeni riyal suffered a new loss in the capital, Aden, and the liberated areas, which negatively affected the prices of food and basic needs. 

Banking sources confirmed that the price of the US dollar approached two thousand riyals, as the value of buying and selling the dollar recorded 1916 and 1931 riyals, respectively, while the price of the Saudi riyal reached 501 and 505 riyals. 

The riyal has been suffering from a continuous collapse since the Houthi militia's coup on September 21, 2014, as its losses exceeded 900%, while commodity prices rose by more than 1,500%. 

The living and economic conditions of citizens are worsening, amid the absence of government control over commodity pricing. Economic sources called for serious measures to be taken to address the collapse of the currency and alleviate the suffering of millions, amid fears of an expanding famine that is silently devastating the country.
