Taiz and Lahj see abuses

The Yemeni Network for Rights and Freedoms documented 164 Houthi crimes and violations in Taiz and Lahj over 48 hours, including the firing of around 450 projectiles at populated areas, killing 28 civilians and injuring 57 others. The attacks included a strike on Al-Suqya Health Center in Lahj, where five people were killed, including three medical staff, and 15 were injured. A popular market in Taiz was also targeted, while 51 facilities and homes were damaged and 16 people were detained. The Yemeni government and the European Union condemned the escalation and called for the attacks to stop and a humanitarian corridor to Taiz to be opened. The EU also announced an additional €25 million in emergency aid, bringing its total humanitarian support for Yemen in 2026 to €110 million.
