Taiz Faces Shelling and Blockade Risks
The humanitarian and military repercussions of the siege of the Yemeni city of Taiz are escalating, with intensified Houthi shelling of residential areas resulting in casualties, including deaths and injuries. Human rights organizations warn that the crisis is worsening, with food insecurity becoming more severe. Attacks have led to the death of eight civilians, including women and children, and injured others, following Houthi shelling of Al-Maqdah village and the Sabir Al-Mawadim district. Victims remain trapped under the rubble. The situation is deteriorating further due to the ongoing blockade of roads and obstruction of food, medical supplies, and fuel, which threatens a humanitarian catastrophe for more than 2.5 million people, including 140,000 internally displaced persons. This is driven by food supply disruptions, escalating military actions, and the Houthi siege. The international community and humanitarian organizations have called for opening roads and delivering aid, while local authorities continue efforts to facilitate aid delivery despite the Houthis' refusal.
