Taiz calls for humanitarian corridor after 270 Houthi rockets hit in 24 hours

Urgent calls for humanitarian intervention have intensified in Yemen’s Taiz province after Houthi militias launched more than 270 rockets and artillery shells in 24 hours, displacing dozens of families. The attacks have triggered a surge in displacement from the rural areas of Saber and the districts of Al-Hujariah to Taiz city. Local authorities and residents have appealed to the United Nations, humanitarian organizations, and the international community to open a humanitarian corridor to aid those affected.

A correspondent for Al Ekhbariya TV in Taiz reported that both residents and local officials have issued urgent pleas for intervention, as more people flee rural areas for the city to escape Houthi attacks. There is a growing demand for basic necessities for the displaced and affected residents.

On the ground, Houthi militias attempted to attack the Al-Muhawala area in Al-Madhariba district of Lahij province, while Yemeni forces launched counterattacks on the Kahlan and Al-Aqrood fronts, managing to repel the militias and inflict losses.

Drone strikes by the Taiz Axis also targeted three Houthi military vehicles on the Shaqab, Al-Aqrood, and Jabal Habashi fronts.
