From 6 hours to 3 days: travellers' suffering worsens between Taiz and Aden

Taiz Governorate, Yemen ·

Travel between Taiz and Aden governorates has become harder, with a trip that took about six hours months ago now lasting a full day. Frequent road closures and difficulties facing travellers and trucks are adding to the delays.

Taiz and Aden are major Yemeni cities, and the road between them is an important internal link in a long-running conflict between the internationally recognised government and the Houthi movement (Ansar Allah), which controls Sanaa.
