Humanitarian Crisis Worsens in Taizz, Yemen, as Houthi Blockade Intensifies

A long-running humanitarian crisis in Taizz, Yemen's third-largest city, has drastically worsened since October 2026, with the Houthi armed group fully encircling the city and blocking and attacking the remaining major supply route. This has led to severe shortages of fuel, food, water, medicine, and cooking gas, hindering access for humanitarian agencies.
