Corroborated · Taiz, Yemen ·
The UN says all roads into Taiz are closed, blocking commercial supplies into the city and civilian routes out, with nearly 250,000 residents remaining and 12 hospitals facing closure or service cuts amid an increasing cholera threat, according to UN statements relayed on Telegram. UN relief chief Tom Fletcher, as reported by Anadolu Agency, says civilians are paying a brutal price as roads close and supplies run low, and calls on parties to open roads and release detained UN staff. The Yemeni Presidential Leadership Council says the Houthis are besieging Taiz.

Details by origin
Each detail, with the independent origins that reported it. An origin is the outlet or channel where a claim first appeared; reposts count once. A row counts no more independent origins than the event does above; where it lists more, it says so. This counts reports: it is not a measure of accuracy, and it does not change the event's status. "Reports differ" means two origins gave values that cannot both be true; it is about that detail, not about whether the incident happened.
