The Ministry affirms that the continuing siege imposed on Taiz by the terrorist Houthi militias, together with the shelling of residential neighborhoods and the restrictions on the movement of people and supplies, is deepening the suffering of the population and threatening the necessities of their lives. It stresses that responding to this suffering requires lifting the siege, ending attacks on civilians, opening the roads and securing the unimpeded delivery of food, water, medicine and humanitarian assistance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Ministry calls on the international community to build on this appeal by taking practical measures that press the militias to end the siege and halt their violations, ensure the protection of the population and civilian infrastructure, and support the documentation of violations, the accountability of those responsible and the rights of victims. It affirms that the protection of civilians and the fulfillment of their basic needs is an obligation under international humanitarian law, and that depriving them of the necessities of life may never be used as a means of pressure or to impose facts on the ground.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Ministry reaffirms the commitment of the Government of Yemen to facilitating humanitarian work and strengthening coordination with the United Nations and relief organizations so that assistance reaches those entitled to it and the suffering of those affected across all governorates is alleviated.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
