Brushes and color palettes are everything left for a group of Yemeni artists wishing to see an end for the ongoing war in their country.
Eleven artists took to the streets of the Yemeni capital since May to highlight different sufferings of the Yemeni people. This time, their campaign focuses on the internally displaced people and the daily hardships they face.
They paint people on a migrant boat, while others draw the peace sign they wish to see in their country.
Drawing a displaced person falling through an hourglass, artist Sahif al-Arifi warns that time is running out for Yemen's civilians.
“My painting was more comprehensive, because the hourglass has a specific time. Yemen is falling and there are victims. Until when (this will continue)? Stop (the war) and enough. We do not want to see more victims and displaced people,” she said.
Yemen has been embroiled in a war between a Saudi-led military coalition and the Iranian-aligned Houthi group since 2015.
The fighting has crippled the country's economy and healthcare system, and unleashed the world's most urgent humanitarian crisis with millions facing starvation and diseases such as cholera, diphtheria and malaria.
A military campaign on the port city of Hodeidah by the Saudi-led coalition had further exacerbated the problem of internally displaced people. The UN Office for Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA) said in a Hodeidah situation report published on July 4 that more than 121,000 people have been displaced since June 1.
Many Yemenis who have fled their homes and farms in and around Hodeidah to head north to the Houthi-held capital Sanaa or to safer areas along the western coast and the southern port city of Aden say they are struggling to survive.
In Sanaa, some families from Hodeidah have only been able to find shelter in crumbling one-room cement structures with no running water or furniture and have no source of income.
