Taiz protests and demands end to Houthi siege

Yemenis in Taiz held a protest near the closed eastern crossing, to demand an end to the Houthi siege imposed on the city for nearly 7 years. The protesters called on the United Nations and the Security Council to open the crossings and roads leading to the city.

They also used social media to call for the opening of Taiz crossings, after the opening of Sanaa International Airport as part of the truce that entered into force last April.
