Houthis’ monthlong siege on Taiz creating hell for trapped Yemenis
A monthlong Houthi siege on Taiz, Yemen, has trapped about 1.5 million residents and 180,000 displaced people, severing the city's main route to Aden and blocking food, fuel, water and medical supplies. Displaced families describe perilous journeys through nearly 20 new checkpoints, while U.N. officials warn of a 'catastrophe' as hospitals report a 60–70% drop in access and prices for transport and basic goods soar.
