The Governor of Taiz, Nabil Shamsan, revealed that the local authority established a committee to investigate reports of the Houthi militia's use of shells suspected of containing toxic gases in the Sabar area, in order to gather evidence and verify the validity of the reports. Shamsen said, in a television interview, that the city of Taiz was already experiencing a state of famine, after its food stocks ran out and supply routes were disrupted, due to a severe shortage of water, food and fuel. He explained that the city needs 35,000 cubic meters of water every day, while before the last siege only five thousand cubic meters reached it, before it lost additional sources due to the Houthis' control of the Dabab area and the large wells being out of service. The governor revealed other developments, mainly: ▫ The continuation of the Houthi bombing of residential neighborhoods every hour or less, targeting ambulances and preventing the evacuation of the wounded in Khallan, which he described as "almost annihilation". ▫ 120 health centers were completely closed and 66 were partially shut down, oxygen services were disrupted and 15 ambulances and 22 intensive care beds were looted, due to a lack of fuel and medical equipment. ▫ About 6,400 families have recently been displaced, in addition to 33,000 displaced families within the city, and waste is piling up in neighborhoods after the roads leading to its dumps were closed, and heat and disease spread. ▫ The local authority was helped by Hail Saeed Anam's group to negotiate with the Houthis after the Red Cross's efforts faltered, reaching understandings to bring in limited amounts of food and continue a small supply of water and fuel, while the Houthis refused to bring in gas. ▫ The World Food Program was unable to enter food supply, and had to convert its aid into cash amounts, against the background of limited humanitarian interventions that do not cover the needs of the population. ▫ The Houthis mobilized more than 60,000 fighters to attack Taiz, advancing in seven battle lines on several fronts, benefiting from the reinforcements they had accumulated during the truce. ▫ Accusing the Houthis of imposing forced recruitment, Sheikhs must submit lists of names of young people and former military personnel, and prisons refusing to join the group, in addition to planting cells inside the city, monitoring the population through the media and trying to bring in elements using water tanks.
