Yemeni government forces claim air attacks on Houthi positions in Taiz as Saudi strikes reportedly kill at least 15 in Bani Hashish

Summary

Yemeni government forces have claimed three air attacks on Houthi positions in the al-Misrakh district of Taiz governorate, according to a Middle East Eye live blog. Taiz, which is government-held, remains under an ongoing Houthi siege that has closed roads and blocked vital supplies, including fuel. UN Humanitarian Coordinator for Yemen Laurent Bukera warned that the city's health system is close to collapse. The UN World Food Programme said the conflict has blocked lifesaving assistance from reaching 800,000 people, including 600,000 who depend on aid in the city. Houthi media reports say at least 15 people, mostly women and children, were killed and about 30 others wounded in a series of Saudi strikes in the al-Shariyah area of Bani Hashish district.
