Thousands of Muslim worshippers gather around the tomb of Prophet Hud, known in Arabic as Qabr Nabi Hud, for the four-day pilgrimage which precedes the holy fasting month of Ramadan despite an escalation in fighting and coronavirus cases in war-torn Yemen.
Tens of thousands of people and millions of others have been displaced in Yemen's conflict that erupted in 2014 between the Saudi-backed government and the Iran-aligned Huthi rebels.
Yemen is currently registering approximately 100 new coronavirus cases per day, with the real number likely much higher.
