The healthcare crisis in Yemen’s besieged city of Taiz is escalating as fighting between the Houthi rebels and the internationally recognised government deepens.

Taiz, one of Yemen’s largest cities, has been under siege for months, and the conflict has further strained the already fragile humanitarian situation.

The ongoing hostilities have disrupted supply lines and limited access to medical services, worsening the conditions for residents who rely on scarce healthcare resources.

Officials and aid organisations warn that the situation could deteriorate further if the fighting continues, heightening the risk of a broader humanitarian disaster.
