也门塔伊兹城市正陷入日益严重的人道主义困境。伊朗支持的胡塞武装力量已基本包围这座拥有超过90万人口的城市，切断了大部分补给路线1。国际援助组织警告，局势已接近失控，两周内没有燃料进入塔伊兹，城市的小麦粉储备截至10月中旬已几乎耗尽1。
物资短缺导致价格飙升。20升汽油的价格从危机前的约20美元（15英镑）飙升至黑市上的80美元，土豆价格也翻倍1。由于缺乏清洁水、燃料和食物，医院已无药可用，援助机构预警可能出现霍乱等疾病1。国际援助组织人员也被困其中，哈罗信托组织称其30名员工被困在城市内1。
国际捐助承诺不足加剧了危机。联合国人道救援计划仅获得23%的资金承诺1。英国对也门的援助从2020年的1.96亿英镑降至未来三年每年1.04亿英镑1。在美国特朗普政府2027财年预算中，对也门的援助已降至零1。Oxfam驻也门倡导经理法特玛·贾法尔表示："城市的所有主要入口都已被封锁。冲突仍在继续，伤亡人数非常之高1。"
The city of Taiz in Yemen is experiencing a deteriorating humanitarian emergency as Iran-backed Houthi forces have largely encircled the urban center, restricting the flow of essential supplies.1 Home to over 900,000 residents, Taiz has been subjected to severe shortages of water, fuel, and food, leaving hospitals without adequate medications.1 Aid organizations have warned that the situation is approaching an unmanageable scale, with concerns mounting over potential outbreaks of diseases such as cholera.1
The economic toll on residents has been severe, with commodity prices skyrocketing in black markets. The price of 20 liters of gasoline has surged from approximately $20 (£15) before the crisis to $80 on the black market, while potato prices have doubled.1 The World Food Programme reported in mid-October that wheat flour reserves in the city were nearly depleted, and no fuel has entered Taiz for two weeks.1 The Halo Trust organization disclosed that 30 of its staff members remain trapped within the city.1
International financial support for the humanitarian response has proven insufficient. The UN's humanitarian aid plan received only 23 percent of its required funding commitments.1 The United Kingdom has reduced its aid to Yemen from 196 million pounds in 2020 to 104 million pounds annually over the next three years,1 while the United States allocated zero funding for Yemen in the Trump administration's fiscal year 2027 budget.1 By contrast, during President Joe Biden's tenure, the United States had pledged approximately 760 million dollars in total aid to Yemen.1
According to Oxfam's Yemen advocacy manager Fatma Jaffar: "All the main entrances [to the city] have been blocked. The clashes are continuing and the casualties are very high."1
