Saba carries “Mothers’ Pain” report on women and children in Taiz
Government-run Saba published details of a report it said the Yemen Women Empowerment Foundation released today. The report attributes the deaths of 107 women and children and the displacement of 4,860 people to the Houthis between August 1 and October 15, 2026. The new development is publication of the report, not these losses occurring within the window; neither the figures nor the attribution of responsibility has been independently verified.
