EU calls on Houthis to lift siege on Taiz
The EU Ambassador to Yemen, Patrick Simonnet, said their role is to call on Houthi forces to allow the free passage of supplies and lift the siege on the city of Taiz.
In an interview with "Asharq Bloomberg," he added: "From our side as the European Union, we have mobilized more funding, but again, there is a limit to what can be achieved with additional funding if we cannot get food and materials into the city."
He continued: "In fact, most of the contacts we had in the city are missing and there is no information about them, so it is very difficult to find sources to verify the facts."
The ambassador said there are very brave people in this city, continuing: "I was impressed by their resilience. I am sure they are not okay, that their situation is terrible, and what little we know is that we need free, rapid, and unimpeded humanitarian access to the city."
