Hatem says that all the people of his village were displaced after the intensification of the war, and some of them took refuge in neighboring districts, while some of them surrendered their fate to the sea and arrived in the "Abukh" refugee camp in Djibouti.
Hatem narrates his tragedy after the destruction of his boats due to the war, when the people lost 65 fishing boats, and says that the most difficult scene was when the port of Mocha was subjected to a series of air raids, one of which almost killed everyone in the ship that led them on the journey of displacement to Djibouti.
After the liberation of Aden city, Hatem returned to settle there, and his situation with his family became miserable because there was no work through which he could provide for his family's requirements considering the deteriorating economic situation and the exorbitantly high prices.
Tawakkol Karman Foundation provided a fishing boat for Hatem and another for his son, in addition, to complete fishing equipment, so that Hatem would win this round of his battle with life and give his children the opportunity to complete their education as he aspired for himself when he was a student at the university and circumstances forced him to drop out.
