Yemen's Ministry of Human Rights has warned that the Houthi militia's continued siege of Taiz city, cutting off critical supplies, is exacerbating the humanitarian crisis there. Recent shelling, sniper attacks, and assaults on ambulances have resulted in over 250 civilian casualties.

Hospitals face severe shortages of fuel, medicine, and medical supplies, risking complete closure and threatening emergency, intensive care, and neonatal services. Houthi forces have also blockaded the Dhubab basin and attacked waterways, leading to a severe shortage of drinking water. Declining food supplies and rising prices further undermine the local population's ability to sustain basic living.
