News 📅 30 October 2026 📍 Yemen

Yemen Monitor reported on 30 October that State Minister Walid al-Abarah said the internationally recognized government was consulting diplomatic missions and the International Committee of the Red Cross on safe humanitarian corridors into Taiz and routes for civilians to leave areas of fighting. Al-Abarah said outside aid access to the governorate was unavailable and local purchasing was the only immediate stopgap. He said the government had asked that aid delivered to Houthi-controlled Sana’a be matched by guarantees of access to Taiz, while stressing it was not calling for aid to be blocked from Houthi-held areas. Human Rights Watch and UN officials separately described serious supply and access restrictions. Houthi officials dispute responsibility for closing routes; claims about access and responsibility remain contested.
