Yemeni govt urges UN to lift Houthi siege on Taiz, warns of humanitarian catastrophe

The internationally recognized Yemeni government has formally called on the UN and Security Council to take urgent action to lift the Houthi-imposed siege on Taiz, warning of an impending humanitarian catastrophe. The appeal signals escalating diplomatic pressure but no immediate change in the military or humanitarian situation on the ground. The siege has been a persistent feature of the conflict, and this call reflects continued stalemate rather than a new development.
