Aden — Residents of Aden are facing severe electricity outages, with power cuts extending up to 14 hours a day and supply limited to just two hours, as fuel shortages and technical failures cripple the city’s power stations.

Local sources report that the crisis has intensified in recent weeks, leaving households and businesses struggling to cope with soaring temperatures and disrupted daily life. 

The outages are attributed to the depletion of fuel supplies needed to operate generating plants, alongside mechanical breakdowns that have left several stations out of service.

Officials and community leaders have voiced concern that the situation could worsen in the coming days if urgent measures are not taken to secure fuel and restore capacity. 

The prolonged blackouts have sparked fears of broader humanitarian and economic repercussions, particularly in a city already burdened by instability and fragile infrastructure.

Residents have appealed to authorities to intervene swiftly, warning that the continuation of the crisis threatens public health, essential services, and the overall stability of Aden.
