Yemen's hunger and displacement rise amid Taiz conflict
The clashes in Taiz Governorate, Yemen, are intensifying amid a worsening humanitarian situation. The World Food Program announced that 74% of households in accessible areas are unable to meet their basic food needs, and over 149,000 people have been displaced since the escalation began. Essential services have also been affected by the conflict, with more than 18.3 million people suffering from severe food insecurity. Food prices are rising sharply, especially wheat flour, which has increased by 10% over the past two weeks. Heavy fighting continues in Taiz, with fierce clashes ongoing, and Houthi militants have blown up a bridge that previously blocked traffic. Meanwhile, military aircraft target Houthi military vehicles, and an American engineer working for the Ministry of Energy has been detained on charges of supporting the Houthis by attempting to purchase equipment to manufacture drones and IEDs.
