Streets in Taiz city filled with rubbish a day after cleaners began a strike, protesting against the failure to pay their salaries, which have been suspended for six months
Residents issued warnings to the authority of an environmental catastrophe caused by the accumulation of rubbish in the streets, and called for responding to pay the cleaners' salaries
Dozens of workers of Taiz Cleanliness and Improvement Fund staged a sit-in in front of the provincial headquarters to demand the payment of their salaries, which were suspended four years ago, stopped by the Ministry of Finance in Aden four months ago
The cleaners raised slogans condemning the disregard of their demands by the concerned authorities, which are supervised by the Islah Party, considering their continued disregard as a form of racial discrimination
The protesters called on the governor to fulfill his promises and pay their salaries urgently before Eid al-Adha, so that they can meet the needs of Eid
