Between severed arteries and withheld aid: UN and rights warnings of a humanitarian disaster sweeping Taiz

Taiz, Yemen ·

Human Rights Watch said in a recent report that the Houthi movement has tightened its siege of Taiz since early October, including by targeting and closing what remains open to the city.

Taiz, one of Yemen's largest cities, has been a front line in the conflict between the Houthi movement and forces loyal to Yemen's internationally recognised government since 2015.
