“Causalities among civilians included the death of eight women and three children and the injury of seven children and four women due to the militia's indiscriminately shelling over residential areas in the city, the report added.

The Coalition of Humanitarian Relief called on all humanitarian organizations and concerned authorities to assume their moral and humanitarian responsibilities towards the suffering of the people of Taiz governorate due to the systematic attacks and not to abandon them, especially that they have been suffering for around three years from the unjust war and the siege imposed on them by the coup militia.
Rising prices and lack of food, medical and housing flow have worsened the situation in the city, the report pointed out.
