- More than 250,000 people have been displaced in Yemen since August, the United Nations Refugee Agency reported on Tuesday as hostilities intensified across the country.
- The Iran-aligned Houthis have completely encircled Taiz, driving food prices up 50% since early September and causing severe fuel shortages, according to the World Food Programme.
- Escalating fighting and fuel shortages threaten water systems serving an estimated 3 million people, including at least 1.6 million children, UNICEF's Yemen representative Akhil Iyer said.
- A Houthi ballistic missile strike on a military training camp in Shabwa killed at least 58, prompting retaliatory strikes by Saudi-backed forces near Taiz.

Warnings are mounting against the repercussions of the siege imposed by the Al-Houthi group on the city of Ta ' izz, while the United Nations has announced an increase in the number of displaced persons in Yemen since the beginning of the recent escalation to more than a quarter of a million people.
Due to the ongoing fighting in Yemen, another tens of thousands of people have been displaced, and the number of refugees has increased to 250,000.
The Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees believes that the country, once again entangled in a civil war since July, is facing an unprecedented humanitarian crisis.
More than 250,000 people have been forced to flee their homes and move to other parts of the country as fighting in Yemen has resumed, the United Nations (UN) said. The figure covers the period from August 1 to October 17, Matthew Saltmarsh, spokesman for the UN refugee agency (UNHCR), told a news conference on Tuesday. The UNHCR, he said, is “deeply concerned about the worsening internal displacement situation.”
