One of the nights in 2015 in Sana'a, Yemen, I used to live at my parents' house.

And it was around 12 a.m.

and I woke up and I felt my bed was shaking.

I get out of my bed and I heard a huge explosion.

And I saw my dad standing on my bedroom's door screaming, telling me to go to the basement.

I ran to the basement and I saw my mom and my two siblings.

There was no electricity and there was no internet.

An hour later, the internet was back.

So I went to my Facebook and I see Saudi coalition started to bomb Yemen.

My parents were really scared because we'd never been bombed in Yemen.

We always had a civil war, but we'd never been bombed.

We'd never experienced an airstrike.

So me and my parents decided to stay at home and try to keep safe.

But two weeks later, I started to get depressed, and I wanted to go back to work.

At that time, I used to work at a UN agency, and I was a freelance photographer.

So I had a fight with my mom that I want to go back to work, and they were just telling me, it's crazy, it's so dangerous.

But at that time, Sana'a was controlled by Yemeni rebels.

And it was under a siege as well.

So we didn't have any fuel in the country.

And it wasn't the first time that we had a fuel crisis.
