Local statement reports a woman killed and five civilians wounded in Taiz
Belqees quoted the Taiz siege affairs office reporting Badriya Mohammed Mahmoud Haidar killed and five civilians wounded today, blaming Houthi shelling and sniper fire. The new development is publication of the statement naming the victim; it gives no precise time for each incident. Some injured women also appear in other reports from Sabr and al-Misrakh, so the tallies are not combined or treated as confirmed additional incidents. Responsibility and numbers have not been independently verified.

Islamic Relief issues urgent appeal for aid access to Taiz
In a new statement, Islamic Relief warned of dwindling food, medicine and clean water supplies in Taiz and urged all parties to allow safe, unimpeded humanitarian access. It said supply routes have been largely blocked for about a month and cholera is spreading. Publication on the organisation’s website is confirmed; its displacement and price estimates are cumulative and do not establish new displacement or aid deliveries during this window.
