UN: decline in health services in Taiz due to siege threatens lives of thousands of pregnant women

Taiz, Yemen ·

The UN warned that only five of the 27 hospitals designated for maternal and newborn emergency care are still partly operating. It pointed to continuing limits on humanitarian supplies, along with shortages of fuel and medicines.

Yemen's conflict escalated in 2015 after Houthi movement (Ansar Allah) forces took control of Sanaa, leaving much of the population dependent on aid. Taiz, a major city in the southwest, has been among the areas most affected.
