AIAli Al-Sarari, political and media adviser to the Yemeni prime minister, has warned of the deteriorating situation in Taiz.
In an interview with Al Ekhbariya TV, he said the humanitarian situation in Taiz is extremely difficult, with basic necessities scarce and hospitals operating at reduced capacity due to a lack of power sources for their equipment.
The Yemeni official added that the Houthi militia is attempting to block all avenues of life in Taiz and continues to shell women and children, noting that residents are facing unprecedented hardship.
He said that even before the Houthi blockade, Taiz was in poor condition and relied on external water sources. The blockade has worsened the crisis by preventing residents from accessing these sources. The city’s food stocks were already limited and could run out within days.
