EU urges halt to Houthi operations, calls for humanitarian corridor in Taiz
The European Union has called for an immediate end to Houthi military actions in Yemen and attacks on Saudi Arabia, urging all parties to stop supporting the group.
Political analyst Hazza Al-Beel has stated that the 12-year Houthi siege of Taiz has exacerbated the already dire humanitarian crisis and severely limited the ability of residents to move about. Al-Beel told Al-Ikhbariya that the continuous shelling of homes and the targeting of civilians and children has made the situation in the city far worse than ever before.
The city has been under siege for a prolonged period, with the blockade and ongoing war leaving it exhausted. Houthi militias have consistently attempted to cut off Taiz from all external connections, and the shelling of civilian homes continues unabated. Al-Beel highlighted that Houthi militias specifically target children who gather water for their families, an incident that has been repeatedly documented and witnessed daily by both locals and the world.
He also reported that a three-year-old child was injured by shrapnel from a mortar shell that landed near his home.
