Houthi Siege of Taiz Triggers Humanitarian Crisis and Stalls Yemeni Counteroffensive

Houthi forces have encircled Taiz, Yemen’s third-largest city, cutting off the only supply route to Aden and blocking aid to 800,000 people.

While the internationally recognized government launched the 'Dawn of Yemen' counteroffensive in October, it has stalled, failing to retake key coastal areas like Mokha. The conflict has escalated into a broader regional crisis, with cross-border missile attacks on Saudi Arabia and international debate over military intervention.
