Intensified Fighting in Yemen Displaces Hundreds of Thousands, Worsening Humanitarian Crisis

Renewed clashes between government and Houthi forces in Yemen have led to significant displacement, with over 233,000 people displaced since June, including 110,000 children since early September. Hospitals in Taiz face critical shortages of oxygen and medicines, and cholera cases are increasing. The UN World Health Organization requires $31 million for aid, while the UN Security Council has been briefed on the dire situation. Recent Houthi missile strikes reportedly killed army recruits.
