Memoir of An Adeni

The invasion of Houthi militia caused the loss of 4 districts out of the 8 in Aden. And due to the bad situation in the 4 invaded districts, people were forced to relocate, women children and old men . Moved with the least they can carry escaping for their lives .

During the invasion Houthi militia tend to close the hospitals in the places they invade “AlJomhoria Hospital” In Khormaksar district was one of them. My friend Salwa communication engineer and a volunteering nurse there told me “on the day Khormaksar was controlled by Houthi militia they entered the hospital kicking everyone out and looking for wounded local defenders to kill”. Salwa was not the only women who have volunteered as a nurse to cover the lack of nurses , lots of Adeni women have done the same , they stayed for days living in the hospitals leaving there families and loved once at home, so they can be there to help .

I still remember my aunt Bushra ,every morning cooking extra meal for the defenders although we didn’t have much give, but she was detriment to give as much as she can as same as many of Adeni women during war time.
