Humanitarian agencies warn that the Houthi blockade of Taiz city has left over 800,000 people without critical aid, deepening an already dire crisis in the war-torn region. With supplies unable to reach those in need, concerns grow over worsening malnutrition, disease outbreaks, and civilian suffering as the siege enters its second month. The UN and aid groups have repeatedly called for immediate access to deliver food, medicine, and clean water, but restrictions remain in place. The situation underscores the escalating toll of conflict on vulnerable populations amid stalled negotiations for a lasting resolution.
More than 800,000 people have been cut off from aid since the Houthis encircled Taiz city in early October.
