Drinking water supplies dwindle in Yemeni city besieged by Houthi rebels

Taiz, a crucial city in southwestern Yemen, is grappling with an acute water crisis as Houthi rebels, supported by Iran, continue to tighten their siege. This has exacerbated an already dire situation that has plagued the city for over a decade. With dwindling water supplies, residents face severe shortages, which could lead to even more dire humanitarian consequences. The ongoing conflict and blockade highlight the broader challenges of maintaining basic services in war-torn regions, raising concerns about the long-term stability and health of the population.
