UN Warns Time Is Running Out for Aid to Taiz After 20 Days of Houthi Siege

The United Nations warned Friday that time was running out to deliver humanitarian aid to Taiz in southern Yemen, as a Houthi siege of the city entered its 20th day.

Houthi forces are preventing supplies from reaching the city, obstructing efforts to bring assistance to residents.

The UN warning underscored the urgency of securing access to Taiz, where the continued blockade has left aid deliveries dependent on an opening for supplies to pass through.

With the siege continuing, the immediate challenge remains getting humanitarian assistance into the city before further delays deepen the crisis.
