  "account": "Hundreds of thousands of residents in Yemen's city of Tais are increasingly cut off from the outside world due to the advance of Huthi rebels. The city, which is the country's third-largest, has been a focal point of the decade-long civil war and has repeatedly changed hands. Residents are struggling to access basic necessities such as food, water, and fuel, with many items in short supply and prices rising. The World Food Programme (WFP) reports that around 800,000 people, including 600,000 in Tais, are unable to receive aid due to ongoing fighting and blocked roads. The Huthi militia, an ally of Iran, has been attempting to fully encircle the city, which has been under a de facto blockade since 2015.",
  "summary": "Drinking water is often only available in litre bottles, and flour and gas are hard to come by. In Tais, fear is rampant. And many are asking themselves: will the battle for Yemen's third-largest city soon begin?",
