[United Nations warns of sharp deterioration of humanitarian situation in Taiz, Yemen] October 20th, United Nations Secretary-General Spokesperson Dujarric stated on the 19th that the United Nations is deeply concerned about the continued escalation of the situation in Yemen and Saudi Arabia. Fierce fighting on many fronts in Yemen, especially in the Taiz region, has caused large-scale displacement and a serious humanitarian crisis. United Nations data shows that the conflict in Yemen has displaced more than 250,000 people since the beginning of August. Currently, the Taiz region is increasingly isolated from the outside world. Since October 8, aid agencies have been unable to transport supplies between the Taiz region and the south. There is a serious shortage of food, medical and other supplies, and overcrowding in resettlement camps has increased the risk of cholera. Dujarric warned that local humanitarian needs have far exceeded aid capacity. He called on all parties to the conflict to exercise restraint, ensure smooth flow of aid, and resolve conflicts through political dialogue.
