Taiz, a city in the south-western has been under siege has been under siege by the Houthi rebels ever since a war on that country was declared by the Saudi-led Arab coalition in 2015 after they took control of the capital Sana in 2014 and sent the Yemeni government scurrying abroad.

Apparently this kind of thing happens all the time. One laments the city of Taiz has become a black forest of a bloody series of sniping, kidnappings, killings and assassinations.
But this is maybe because of the frustrating siege. The United Nations is at the moment and through negotiations are trying to get the Houthis to lift their long-term siege of the city that is deemed third largest in the country with a population standing at around 600,500.
