Yemenis appeal to the UN to compel the Houthis to open land ports

People of Taiz, Yemen, are eagerly awaiting the opening of the city’s ports, as their suffering is compounded by the distance between cities, which used to not take ten minutes from one area to another, and now it takes about eight hours due to alternative rugged roads.

Yemenis called on the international community and the United Nations to compel the Houthis to end the siege on the city and reopen the land ports.

Houthi siege of Taiz and the planted mines on the sides of the roads hinder the entry of goods, especially food and medicine, through the land ports. Houthi group refuses to open the humanitarian corridors and crossings between the Yemeni governorates, which the Yemeni government considers a humanitarian demand and one of the priorities of the truce.
