On the 13th local time, UN Secretary General Spokesman Dijalik said that the war in Yemen continues to escalate, the city of Taiz, the capital of Taiz province, is becoming increasingly scarce in basic supplies, and existing stocks of wheat and flour may be exhausted in less than three weeks. Fuel shortages are also threatening local water supplies and increasing public health risks. Dijalik said that the UN is deeply concerned about the continued military escalation in the region. Fierce clashes on many fronts in Yemen, particularly in Taiz, are having serious humanitarian consequences for civilians, causing large-scale displacements and material shortages. Furthermore, overcrowded settlements for displaced persons, inadequate clean drinking water, and lack of medical services further exacerbate public health risks. He quoted the World Health Organization's notice on the same day as saying that suspected cholera cases have surged in Yemen. About a quarter of the more than 8,000 suspected cases reported this year occurred in the last four weeks.
