Hospitals in Yemen's Taiz are overwhelmed as fighting escalates, Reuters reported on 2026-10-29. Hospitals near the front lines are treating up to 700 war wounded in a single day, with acute shortages of medicine, oxygen, anaesthetic and fuel. The UN and aid agencies say health needs in the besieged city are critical, and a 25-year-old pregnant woman with a bullet lodged in her spine was among the patients described.
