Yemen appeals for help for civilians as Houthis tighten siege
Yemeni officials have appealed for international support to protect civilians in Taiz as Iran-backed Houthi rebels tightened their siege of the city. Taiz has become a major battlefront, with the city encircled and resources strained. The Houthis have fired over 2,000 projectiles into Taiz. That's according to Yemeni officials.
