Houthi Attacks Cripple 80% of Health Facilities in Western Taiz
Asharq Al-Awsat·YE·2 days ago
Nearly a month after Houthi forces seized the port city of Moka, civilians who remain are gradually resuming activities but live in fear. The takeover extends Houthi territorial gains along Yemen's Red Sea coast, threatening shipping and regional stability. Uncertainty surrounds the extent of control and the fate of displaced populations.
Saudi-backed Yemeni forces claim to have retaken the strategic Red Sea port city of Mokha from Houthi control. However, this claim is unverified and directly contradicts earlier reports indicating persistent Houthi control of the port for nearly a month. The situation on the ground regarding Mokha's control remains contested and unclear.
