The agency highlights the vulnerability of sanitation and hygiene services amid escalating violence, raising concerns over public health in one of Yemen’s most densely populated areas. With water systems already strained, disruptions could worsen an already dire humanitarian crisis. The alert underscores the broader toll of the conflict on civilian life.
