Taiz medical system on brink of collapse as Houthi siege cuts off supplies
Yemen’s government warns that hospitals in Taiz are nearing total collapse due to a Houthi blockade that has cut off fuel, medicines, and medical supplies. Critical services, including dialysis and neonatal care, face imminent shutdown, putting thousands at risk. This humanitarian crisis coincides with a broader military escalation where Saudi-backed forces are attempting to retake the Bab al-Mandab strait from the Houthis, who have also launched missile attacks on Saudi infrastructure.
