Why is the Yemen conflict so underreported? Since the beginning of October, Houthi forces have besieged Taiz, Yemen's third largest city. Almost a million people are cut off from food aid. The Yemeni analyst and human rights activist Bara Shiban recently returned from the city. He warns against framing the war as a choice between the Houthis, who support the Palestinian cause, and their opponents, and calls it "a mistake when you try to explain the internal dynamics of the conflict." This framing, he says, overlooks the people inside the besieged cities in Yemen, who are "paying the most expensive price."
