Taiz governor: Houthis have mobilised 60,000 fighters and the city is on the brink of famine

Taiz, Yemen ·

Taiz governor Nabil Shamsan warned of military escalation and a suffocating siege imposed by the Houthis on the governorate. He said residential neighbourhoods in Jabal Sabr and around the city were being hit by rocket and artillery fire, halting dozens of health centres and worsening shortages of food, water and fuel.

Yemen's Houthi movement (Ansar Allah) controls Sanaa and much of the north, while Taiz has seen fighting between multiple Yemeni factions for years.
