A weekly bazaar was opened in Yemen's capital Sanaa on Thursday to help families sell their homemade traditional products to increase their income.
In the bazaar, more than 50 families sell candy, cake, traditional clothing, bracelets, necklaces, incense, perfumes, pottery and other products made in their homes.
The nearly five-year war has made Yemen the world's largest humanitarian disaster and caused many to lose their livelihoods.
"The bazaar aimed to help the families sell their homemade traditional products to make a living," said Arwa al-Dhayani, one of the organizers.
The weekly bazaar organized by local charities in a big tent pitched in a wide area at the center of Tahrir Square in downtown Sanaa.
The superb homemade products hanging down from the ceiling of the tent and set on the tables along the floor create a very intimate atmosphere.
Yemen has been mired in a civil war since late 2014, when Iran-allied Houthi rebels seized Sanaa and forced the Saudi-backed Yemeni government of President Abd-Rabbu Mansour Hadi into exile.
The war has killed tens of thousands of people, mostly civilians, displaced around 3 million others and pushed the impoverished Arab country to the brink of famine.
