Accidents resulting from the explosion of household gas cylinders are repeated in the capital, Aden, which claimed dozens of lives, including women and children.

Markets in Aden are witnessing a widespread spread of damaged gas cylinders, which may cause a humanitarian catastrophe in light of complete neglect by the local authorities.

The gas company in Aden had taken out large quantities of cylinders and placed them in its own hangars in preparation for their destruction, but authorities forced them to be returned to the market again by selling them to citizens.

These cylinders now represent a serious danger threatening thousands of civilians, as they can lead to sudden explosions, which may cause loss of life and property.

In response to a question about the possibility of replacing damaged gas cylinders, the director of the gas company in Aden, Murad Sheikh, said that the company does not have enough cylinders to be able to replace them.

Residents in Aden called on the responsible authorities to take urgent measures to remove damaged gas cylinders from the markets, and to protect citizens from their danger.
