Houthi Total Siege on Taiz Intensifies Humanitarian Crisis and Conflict

Houthi forces have imposed a total siege on Taiz, closing the last major supply route and blocking UN/aid access, leading to severe food and water shortages. This escalation has prompted increased Yemeni government and Saudi-led coalition strikes on Houthi positions, resulting in significant civilian casualties and displacement. The full impact on the city's population and the effectiveness of counter-siege operations remain uncertain.
