Fuel cuts disrupt water systems

A lack of fuel is stopping pumps from moving water and maintaining sanitation services. This breakdown increases the danger of cholera spreading among displaced populations in the region.

Forty-two clinics lack basic items

The agency states that forty-two locations within Taiz city alone cannot treat patients properly. Shortages of oxygen and medicines are preventing staff from caring for sick individuals effectively.

Urgent aid access requested

Officials ask for safe routes to allow humanitarian groups to bring needed resources into the area. They also seek immediate funding to restock stores and keep essential health services running.
