  • All construction work has come to a complete stop and construction workers are now unemployed.

  • Women are not allowed to walk the streets unless accompanied by a male.
  • Nearly all barber shops and womens' salons have closed.

  • Water and electricity continue to be severely limited. Residents who have dug wells are unable to purify the water for safe drinking.
