Yemeni government forces and Houthi rebels engaged in fierce fighting on multiple fronts in southern Taiz, while Houthi forces also launched airstrikes on Mocha and its port along the Red Sea coast. The UN Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA) warned that the conflict has displaced over 281,000 people since early August and trapped 800,000 civilians within Taiz city, with humanitarian aid struggling to arrive due to damaged key roads. OCHA called on all parties to respect international humanitarian law and allow safe, sustained, and unimpeded humanitarian access.
