The incident of finding the body of a dead woman, dumped inside the cemetery of Al-Saeed, in the Yemeni governorate of Taiz, sparked widespread condemnation, after her relatives abandoned it as a result of the high price of grave digging.
Sources said that the body belonged to a woman from the marginalized group who died from the Corona virus.
The sources added that one of the deceased’s relatives came with the ambulance last Wednesday, but he left the cemetery leaving the body, because he did not have enough money to get her a grave.
Human rights activists condemned the Brotherhood’s inability to provide graves for the dead, after the price of digging the grave reached more than 50 thousand Yemeni riyals.
