Yemen’s Health Ministry released a statement on Sunday highlighting a severe humanitarian crisis developing in the city of Taiz. According to the ministry, health facilities in the region are facing a critical shortage of medicines, medical solutions, and fuel, which are necessary to maintain daily operations. The ministry warned that if these supplies are not replenished immediately, several life-saving medical services will be forced to cease operations, potentially leading to serious health repercussions for the local population.

The ministry explicitly blamed the Houthi movement for the current situation, citing the obstruction of essential supply deliveries as the primary cause of the depletion. The statement, which was reported by the state-run Saba news agency, included a formal demand for the immediate lifting of these restrictions to allow aid and commercial goods to reach the city’s hospitals. While the ministry’s report emphasizes the immediate threat to human life, it does not provide specific data regarding the current volume of remaining reserves or a timeline for when services might officially halt. The situation in Taiz remains precarious, as the city has long been a focal point of conflict and restricted access during the ongoing Yemeni civil war.
