In a related context, the water crisis in Taiz is one of the deepest problems that have afflicted civilians for 8 years, as the city’s residents suffer from water scarcity as a result of the Houthi militia preventing pumping water from the wells under its control, which used to cover the needs of the population, which forced the city’s residents to Resorting to buying water from mobile tanks at exorbitant prices, amid the inability of the local authority to find solutions to the problem.
“The main reason for the water crisis in the city is that the water fields are in the range of the Houthi militia’s fire, as this exacerbated them,” said Samir Abdul-Wahed, director of the Water Corporation in Taiz Governorate.
Abdel Wahed explained that the fields of “Wadi al-Dabab” and “Hawjla”, which used to supply the city with 12 million liters per day, have become out of service due to their falling into the frontlines of war imposed by the Houthi militia. It has not been reformed due to the Houthi militia’s control of that area.
Samir emphasized that the applied siege imposed by the terrorist militias on the city and the water fields under their control have rendered these fields out of service, leaving the city with only wells in which there is a small level of water, considering that these wells are only emergency, because the amount of water in them is very limited, and there are 38 of them. A well whose production capacity before the war was 7,500 cubic meters, but now its production has decreased to 3,300 cubic meters per day.

Al-Eryani said, in a statement published by the Yemeni news agency Saba, that the statement refuting the invalidity of the procedures of those rulings, the illegality of the court, and the absence of the authority of the judges who issued them after the Supreme Judicial Council issued a decision to cancel them in 2018, in a new witness to the criminality, bloody, and terrorism of the Houthi militia and its flagrant violation. international and humanitarian laws and conventions.
Al-Eryani called on civil society organizations and human rights activists to issue positions condemning the Houthi practices, and to organize activities and events that expose the killings and violations committed against civilians in areas under their control, which amount to war crimes and genocide.
Al-Eryani called on the international community, the United Nations and its envoy to Yemen, and human rights organizations and bodies, to leave the square of silence and address their legal, humanitarian and moral responsibilities, in stopping the systematic killings committed by the Houthi militia against civilians, and in prosecuting those responsible for them and ensuring that they do not go unpunished.
