Taiz Governor: Volume of Goods Entering the City is No More Than 10% of Its Needs
During a government meeting, Taiz Governor Nabil Shamsan stated that the volume of goods entering the city does not exceed 10% of its actual needs, accusing the Houthi group of imposing restrictions and prohibitive measures on transportation into the city.
The governor pointed out that imposing restrictions and prohibitive measures on transportation has led to increased supply costs and worsened living burdens, in addition to its repercussions on health and water services.
The governor explained that preventing the entry of goods and imposing prohibitive restrictions and measures on transportation has led to increased supply costs and exacerbated living burdens. It also affects health and water services, disrupting the arrival of vaccines, kidney dialysis supplies, and chronic disease medications, which constitutes collective punishment against civilians.
He stressed that food security is not only linked to the availability of goods but also to the ability of citizens to access and purchase them amid declining income and purchasing power..
He emphasized the need to treat food, water, health, nutrition, and livelihoods as an interconnected system, and to give priority to the displaced and most needy groups in humanitarian interventions.
The governor called for enhancing the arrival of food supplies, facilitating the movement of goods and trucks, and reducing transport costs. He also called for establishing a continuous mechanism to monitor inventory and prices, strengthening partnerships with the private sector and merchants, expanding the interventions of UN organizations, securing hospitals' needs for medicines and oil derivatives, addressing the garbage crisis, combating dengue fever, preparing for cholera, and operating malnutrition treatment centers.
