Arab League Warns of Imminent Humanitarian Disaster in Yemen's Taiz Amid Houthi Restrictions

The Arab League Secretary-General Nabil Fahmy has issued a stark warning regarding a potential humanitarian disaster in Yemen's southwestern Taiz province, urging Houthi forces to immediately lift restrictions on aid deliveries. Fahmy expressed deep concern over the deteriorating health conditions, with hospitals facing acute shortages of fuel, oxygen, medicines, and medical supplies, threatening essential services for children and patients. The UN Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA) also highlighted worsening conditions due to disrupted supply routes and mounting pressure on services, noting that the province hosts approximately 140,000 displaced people.
