Tawakkol Karman Foundation has equipped a cafeteria with all its needs and requirements for a war-wounded A’hid n Taiz governorate, who lost his left foot in the war, and damaged his right foot.
The young man, A’hid al-Baroti, one of the wounded of the popular resistance in Taiz, was wounded while he was in the battle to defend the city, and was hit in the foot. He says: We went with reinforcements to the Arbaeen Front and were subjected to a fierce attack, and I was injured. I was taken to the hospital and entered a coma for three days. My left foot was amputated, while operations were performed on the other foot. which was also broken until it was healed.
To add insult to injury, he was arrested by the Houthi militia in the Bir Pasha area and detained in Al-Saleh prison in Al-Hawban. He was tortured in prison, the effects of which are still there. A year later, the militia released him in exchange for 500,000 riyals, which his mother paid to release her son.
A’hid suffered the bitterness of injury and arrest, and negligence by the concerned authorities in the governorate, who shirked their duties to include him in the army.
A’hid lost hope in those authorities and became unable to work as he used to in the past.
Tawakkol Karman Foundation, through the program "Haith Al-Insan”, helped A’hid and built a small enterprise to meet his needs.
The small enterprise included a shop for snacks and selling chips and fresh juices, and was provided with foodstuffs, equipment, chairs, tables, and all the requirements for the shop.
The cafeteria is part of Tawakkol Karman Foundation development program activities "Haith Al-Insan", shown on Belqees channel during Ramadan.
