Residents of Taiz, Yemen's third-largest city, are struggling to find fuel and food after the Houthis imposed a siege earlier this month, cutting off supply routes to more than 600,000 people. Hospitals warn they could be forced to suspend services, with the UN reporting 42 facilities already short of fuel needed to run incubators, oxygen supplies and ambulances. Aid agencies say a humanitarian emergency is unfolding as prices for scarce fuel continue to surge. Al Jazeera's Malik Traina reports.
