Confirmed · Taiz, Yemen ·
The UN, cited by Al Jazeera, Middle East Eye and Al Jazeera's Telegram channel, says Houthi forces have encircled Taiz city since early October, cutting off more than 800,000 people from aid; Middle East Eye attributes the 20-day figure to OCHA. Al Jazeera reports that a hospital in Taiz warns it could collapse within days because of the siege, which has caused severe shortages of fuel, medicines and oxygen.

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.
