In Lahj Governorate, people face a fierce battle every day with high prices, which have become a nightmare that haunts their lives. Merchants impose exorbitant prices on basic goods, indifferent to the distress that citizens suffer and the loss of the ability to provide for their basic needs. The markets in Lahj are in a state of chaos, as merchants have almost absolute control over prices, exploiting the bad economic conditions to achieve huge profits at the expense of the poor and needy.

Under these circumstances, it has become difficult for Lahiji families to provide food, clothing, and even medicine. Many families are forced to reduce their daily meals, or resort to lower-quality alternatives to cope with harsh prices. Some are trying to overcome the situation by purchasing food collectively, trying to negotiate with merchants to obtain small discounts, while others are resorting to debt. 

With the rise in prices, the suffering of people in Lahj doubled, amid a clear absence of oversight by the “Turkish and Jabali” authority and a lack of any effective measures to curb the greed of merchants. The chaos in the market clearly shows the weakness of the regulatory system, which leaves citizens alone in facing this bitter reality.

Despite the harsh conditions, there remains an urgent need for serious government intervention to control prices and reduce the burden on citizens who live under the burden of this insane high cost. To save the residents of Lahj from these miserable conditions, by supporting market control and providing basic materials at reasonable prices. Will he respond?
