Houthi siege cuts Taiz's last supply road, displacing thousands and exhausting medical supplies

Houthi forces have sealed every supply route into Taiz after cutting the Taiz–Aden road, driving a fresh wave of displacement across western Yemen.

• Houthi forces have cut the Taiz–Aden road, and government troops closed the eastern exit, leaving Taiz with no open supply route.
• United Nations figures counted 197,906 newly displaced people by end-September, including 1,790 families who fled Maqbana and Jabal Habashi in early September.
• Al-Thawra Hospital quality manager Mohammed al-Faqih said chronic patients' medicines were nearly exhausted and the shortage would show within days.
• UNICEF reported the fighting disrupted schooling for over 137,000 students and displaced more than 57,000 children in the first two weeks of September.
