Aqeel bin Thabet, a university professor in the Yemeni city of Aden, used to buy one or two sheep to eat during the Muslim fasting month of Ramadan but because of soaring prices this year can only afford meat from a butcher once a week.
Others in the city like 50-year-old Intisar Ahmad said she will have to forgo meat and sweets and suffice with "what we can to fill our stomachs".
