Besieged Yemeni city on verge of ‘unmanageable’ crisis, aid workers warn

·The Guardian·Impact 3/5 · Notable

The city of Taiz in Yemen is facing a severe humanitarian crisis, with aid workers warning that the situation is becoming unmanageable. Water, gas, and fresh food are running out, leaving over 900,000 people without basic necessities. This crisis is largely due to the Houthi forces' advance, which has cut off most supply routes to the city. The consequences of this crisis are severe, and it is likely to have a significant impact on the local economy and global markets, particularly in the Middle East region.
