Yemeni Government Calls on Red Cross to Secure Fuel for Besieged Taiz Hospitals
The Yemeni government on Monday called on the International Committee of the Red Cross to facilitate urgent and regular access to fuel and medical supplies for the city of Taiz, warning that essential services in its hospitals could halt due to fuel shortages amid the ongoing siege by the Houthi group.
This came during a phone call between Foreign Minister Afrah Abdul Aziz Al-Zouba and the President of the International Committee of the Red Cross, Mirjana Spoljaric Egger.
Al-Zouba stated that "the siege imposed by the Houthi group on Taiz has entered its twelfth year, and the closure of roads and obstruction of food and medicine access are exacerbating the suffering of the residents."
She warned that "fuel shortages due to the siege threaten to halt vital services in the city's hospitals," calling on the International Committee to facilitate urgent and regular access to fuel and medical supplies.
