Siege, sniping and starvation.. widespread popular anger in Taiz demands the international community break the Houthi stranglehold

Taiz, Yemen ·

Thousands of residents gathered in Taiz city on Friday to denounce the ongoing siege of the governorate, which they blame on the Houthi movement.

Yemen's civil war pits the Houthi movement (Ansar Allah), which controls Sanaa and much of the north, against the internationally recognized government. Taiz, a major city in the southwest, has been divided by front lines since the war escalated in 2015.
