A source in the Cleanliness Fund said that the cleaners stopped working in protest against the interruption of their salaries for three months, accusing the local authorities to loot revenues imposed on trucks and traders, which was covering the salaries of cleaners who are not more than one hundred workers, a reference to the authority of Islah Party in the province.
The source pointed out that the local authority in the province did not take any solutions or measures to address the problem before it worsened and turned into an environmental disaster, where on al-Muroor Street, which divides the city of Taiz in two halves, pedestrians find it difficult to walk due to piles of garbage scattered here and there.
