[00:00:24] strict siege on
[00:00:40] Taiz, the heart of the Republic and a symbol of steadfastness and national
[00:00:43] sacrifices, returns today to the forefront of the humanitarian scene
[00:00:47] thousands of with the escalation of attacks by the terrorist Houthi militia, which
[00:00:50] has been targeting the governorate for weeks, exacerbating
[00:00:54] the suffering of its residents under the weight of a continuous
[00:00:57] siege for 12 years. Amidst
[00:01:01] the scarcity of food, medicine, and fuel, the Governor of Taiz,
[00:01:05] Nabil Shamsan, launched an urgent national and humanitarian appeal,
[00:01:08] demanding practical action to break the siege,
[00:01:12] relieve the residents,
[00:01:14] major developments on this front and other and open humanitarian
[00:01:15] We were talking with corridors. So what does Taiz need today
[00:01:18] to overcome this ordeal,
[00:01:20] have the right to receive treatment and what is the responsibility of the state, the international community, and brothers
[00:01:23] in transforming solidarity into steps that end the suffering
[00:01:27] of millions of citizens? So Taiz,

[00:01:41] coverage, in which we will talk about Taiz and about this
[00:01:45] siege. And we hope
[00:01:49] meaning, what to come out with urgent
[00:01:52] solutions for this stalemate.
[00:01:56] Dear viewers, the title of this special
[00:02:00] coverage, in which we will talk about Taiz and about this
[00:02:04] siege. And we hope
[00:02:06] to come out with urgent
[00:02:10] solutions
[00:02:12] districts or through for this stalemate. Dear viewers,
[00:02:15] opening safe humanitarian
[00:02:18] corridors and securing basic needs
[00:02:23] dear viewers. We go to this for millions of residents whose lives and livelihoods
[00:02:25] are threatened due to the deterioration of humanitarian conditions
[00:02:28] caused by the Houthi militia. Shamsan
[00:02:32] confirmed in a speech he delivered to the media that the governorate
[00:02:36] is facing a military escalation that exacerbates the suffering of its residents
[00:02:39] and increases the burdens imposed by years
[00:02:43] of siege, stressing the necessity of taking exceptional measures
[00:02:47] to support Taiz and provide necessary supplies
[00:02:50] and support for hospitals and vital facilities, which
[00:02:54] hospitals we receive ensures the continued provision of medical other situations, is and humanitarian services
[00:02:57] to citizens. The crisis does not stop
[00:03:00] at the limits of military confrontation, but extends to
[00:03:03] the details of the daily lives of families, who find
[00:03:07] themselves facing increasing difficulties in providing
[00:03:10] for their livelihood, at a time when the need for
[00:03:14] medicines and medical supplies, and the fuel
[00:03:17] necessary to operate service
[00:03:20] to Taiz. This facilities is increasing. This is a suffering that makes civilians, especially
[00:03:24] children, women, the sick, and the elderly, more
[00:03:27] vulnerable to the repercussions of escalation and the decline of basic
[00:03:31] services. In parallel
[00:03:34] with that, the governor called on the people of Taiz, with all
[00:03:37] their political, social, youth,
[00:03:41] and women's components, to participate in peaceful marches
[00:03:44] to express the unity of the governorate
[00:03:47] supplies. Yes, even in and solidarity with the victims of the siege and demand national and international action
[00:03:51] to end their suffering. Taiz,
[00:03:55] and the government headed to which has for years been a symbol of steadfastness
[00:03:57] and sacrifice in the face of the Houthi
[00:04:01] many project, deserves today an urgent response commensurate with the magnitude
[00:04:05] called for things not to of its suffering and translates solidarity into
[00:04:08] practical steps that and medicine, protect civilians,
[00:04:11] and reopen the road to the movement of citizens.
[00:04:15] The suffering of this city
[00:04:17] forces can is a national and humanitarian responsibility that requires serious
[00:04:20] action to end the siege
[00:04:22] are large quantities and grant millions of residents their right to
[00:04:24] life.
[00:04:39] Welcome back, dear viewers,
[00:04:42] and we begin this episode directly with you
[00:04:46] and with our guest via phone, Dr. Abdulqawi
[00:04:49] Al-Mekhlafi, First Undersecretary of Taiz Governorate. Welcome.
[00:04:52] Welcome.

[00:05:05] the most
[00:05:06] to drive the Houthis important developments in Taiz city and what it
[00:05:11] battle and to win in needs via phone, hills and general Dr. Abdulqawi Al-Mekhlafi, First Undersecretary of Taiz Governorate.
[00:05:14] Welcome. Welcome.
[00:05:18] Hello and welcome. Welcome, Dr. Abdulqawi.
[00:05:22] In the beginning, if you could inform
[00:05:25] us and the dear viewers about the most
[00:05:29] important developments in Taiz city and what it
[00:05:32] needs and what it needs. Desperate
[00:05:36] attempts to find different
[00:05:38] solutions
[00:05:42] for the directorates that
[00:05:45] failed despite using heavy
[00:05:48] shelling through the initial, meaning
[00:05:52] the initial shells of multiple types that
[00:05:55] are delivered daily to exceed
[00:06:00] shells
[00:06:03] and also using various
[00:06:06] types of weapons and illusions, etc. This
[00:06:09] undoubtedly reflected
[00:06:43] and from the people of Yemen as a whole towards these
[00:06:45] militias
[00:06:48] that targeted Yemen and targeted the region
[00:06:51] and targeted the international community. The people of Taiz paid
[00:06:55] the price, the price through the siege,
[00:06:59] through,
[00:07:01] resulted from this
[00:07:04] siege, a humanitarian situation that has intensified
[00:07:08] since the beginning of October,
[00:07:11] more so when the
[00:07:14] militias advanced in the coastal governorate and cut
[00:07:18] off all roads to
[00:07:22] through the coastal
[00:07:25] the city in general. Following that, the governor of the governorate
[00:07:29] issued a call, a humanitarian
[00:07:33] and national call, to mobilize
[00:07:36] the local and regional
[00:07:40] community to break this siege, meaning,
[00:08:01] civilians,
[00:08:04] internally and externally, also for
[00:08:07] today, they cut off even if there were some
[00:08:11] cases and injuries. Some civilians or
[00:08:14] members of the government forces and resistance
[00:08:18] are happy. Yes, Doctor, in
[00:08:21] Yes, the governor called on the state
[00:08:25] leadership and the government to
[00:08:28] take exceptional measures to support
[00:08:31] the governorate. The question is, what
[00:08:35] are the urgent measures that should
[00:08:38] be taken to secure food, medicine, and fuel?
[00:08:42] And also support hospitals and vital facilities,
[00:08:46] the needs, the needs of the people. What
[00:08:48] are the urgent and exceptional measures that the governor
[00:08:51] called for?
[00:08:56] The governor was clear that he called on the government
[00:09:00] and called on the regional community
[00:09:03] that the humanitarian catastrophe in Taiz governorate,
[00:09:06] this city with a high population density,
[00:09:10] which received
[00:09:13] displaced people from more than one governorate and from the directorate,
[00:09:18] turn into statements and incitement, but
[00:09:21] rather to turn into a practical and procedural aspect. This procedural
[00:09:25] aspect consists of securing the road for delivering food
[00:09:28] supplies.
[00:09:32] And today there
[00:09:35] of fuel
[00:09:39] and from the
[00:10:12] siege by finding the process
[00:10:15] of delivering fuel
[00:10:18] and delivering medicine and also if
[00:10:22] the مشرفات and a general call for
[00:10:30] multiple governorates. He also called on the international community
[00:10:34] and humanitarian organizations
[00:10:37] to find a way to deliver
[00:10:41] fuel and deliver medicine
[00:10:44] and also deliver derivatives and a general call
[00:10:47] to unite
[00:10:51] multiple governorates. He also called
[00:11:00] Yes, God willing, the voice of Taiz
[00:11:03] will be heard and will find receptive ears and will
[00:11:06] be dealt with quickly and respond to
[00:11:09] these urgent
[00:11:11] and pressing pleas. We thank you very much, Dr.
[00:11:15] Abdulqawi Al-Mekhlafi, First Undersecretary of
[00:11:18] Taiz Governorate. You were with us. Thank
[00:11:21] you very much. Dr. Ilan Abd Al-Haq, Undersecretary of
[00:11:24] Taiz Governorate for Health Affairs, also joins us via
[00:11:28] phone from Taiz. Welcome.
[00:11:31] Welcome.
[00:11:34] Welcome everyone. Welcome, Dr.
[00:11:36] ا
[00:11:40] Dr. Abdulqawi Al-Mekhlafi, the governor's
[00:11:42] deputy, about the siege
[00:11:45] and the repercussions of the siege on the steadfast city
[00:11:49] of Taiz.
[00:11:51] Could you inform us and the dear
[00:11:55] viewers about the most prominent
[00:11:58] issues facing
[00:12:01] the health sector in particular, meaning, from
[00:12:04] what the citizen needs
[00:12:08] today in Taiz due to
[00:12:11] the violations committed by the Houthi militia with its siege
[00:12:14] and violations against this city?
[00:12:16] ا
[00:12:19] Of course, the terrorist Houthi groups
[00:12:21] supported by Iran, which carry out
[00:12:25] Iranian agendas inside Yemen and inside
[00:12:28] the region, are committing major criminal acts against
[00:12:31] the people of Taiz and against Yemenis
[00:12:34] in general. The city
[00:12:37] of Taiz is targeted with missile
[00:12:41] projectiles and ballistic missiles, as well as
[00:12:44] landmine planting. The terrorist Houthi militia
[00:12:48] is attacking villages and rural
[00:12:51] areas of Taiz and the city
[00:12:54] of Taiz, and this large,
[00:12:57] densely populated city. Abdulmalik Al-Houthi
[00:13:01] gathered all his
[00:13:03] followers to send them to fight the people
[00:13:07] of Taiz. Yes, regarding the health situation,
[00:13:10] the health situation, like the food situation and
[00:13:16] very bad because in
[00:13:19] a very large number of civilian and military
[00:13:23] victims and wounded.
[00:13:27] Hospitals also receive many displaced
[00:13:30] patients who have fled from the villages and rural
[00:13:33] areas of Taiz to inside the city. These large numbers
[00:13:37] are against the strict siege
[00:13:41] imposed by the terrorist Houthi militia on all entrances
[00:13:45] siege prevents water, food,
[00:13:49] medicine, and fuel. Also, we
[00:13:53] are talking about more than 650 kidney
[00:13:56] failure patients whose lives are
[00:14:00] threatened with extinction due to the lack
[00:14:03] of diesel for operating
[00:14:07] hospitals, and also the lack of medicines and medical
[00:14:12] the commercial market, in case the governorate
[00:14:16] headed
[00:14:20] buy from the local market inside Taiz,
[00:14:23] the local market is currently experiencing a great shortage
[00:14:26] of materials.
[00:14:29] This puts the government and all of us
[00:14:32] in a helpless position in the face of this humanitarian catastrophe,
[00:14:36] which the international community overlooks
[00:14:39] in the face of this terrorist
[00:14:41] militia. It is assumed that the international
[00:14:45] community and the humanitarian community guarantee
[00:14:49] the existence of safe corridors
[00:14:52] for the passage of food and medicine,
[00:14:55] supplies, and fuel,
[00:14:58] as is the case in wars everywhere. But we are
[00:15:01] not surprised by the barbarism and hostility carried out
[00:15:05] by the Houthi militia against the people of Taiz, but we
[00:15:09] always say that the people of Taiz are steadfast. We
[00:15:12] will not abandon our city,
[00:15:15] and we will fight for our city, for our land, for
[00:15:18] our religion, and for our homeland until the last
[00:15:21] man. Very beautiful, and this is definitely
[00:15:25] what is happening and what we see on the battlefronts of legendary
[00:15:28] steadfastness and pushing back this militia
[00:15:32] and retaliating against them at the gates of Taiz
[00:15:35] city. Every
[00:15:38] Taizian is resisting
[00:15:41] on his land and preserving his land,
[00:15:44] and we wish for this militia
[00:15:47] to disappear, God willing,
[00:15:51] the mountains
[00:15:54] and valleys. Dr. Ilan, why
[00:15:57] is the international community
[00:16:02] the city and the tragic humanitarian situation in Taiz
[00:16:05] city, as if it sees and
[00:16:08] does not hear?
[00:16:12] The international community is not fair in all humanitarian
[00:16:14] issues, so it does what it wants,
[00:16:18] but we appeal to them
[00:16:20] to activate the humanitarian laws
[00:16:23] that have always been present
[00:16:27] in their constitutions and in the constitutions of the United
[00:16:30] Nations that civilians have the right
[00:16:33] and the wounded and injured have the right to receive treatment
[00:16:36] and food. And medicine, and this cutting
[00:16:40] off of these basic necessities of life
[00:16:44] is systematic killing and a major war
[00:16:48] crime committed by the Houthi militia their constitutions and in the constitutions
[00:16:51] of the United Nations that civilians have the right
[00:16:54] and the wounded and injured
[00:16:58] and food and medicine,
[00:17:00] and this cutting off of these basic
[00:17:04] necessities of life is systematic killing
[00:17:08] and a major war crime committed by the Houthi militia
[00:17:11] for 12 years. Dr. Ilan, what is your message
[00:17:15] to the government and the state in this
[00:17:18] difficult situation? What does Taiz need
[00:17:22] today? Taiz needs
[00:17:25] support and assistance. In fact,
[00:17:28] the government, represented by His Excellency
[00:17:31] the President of the Presidential Leadership Council, Dr. Rashad Al-Alimi, and also
[00:17:35] the Prime Minister and all ministers, are very supportive
[00:17:39] of Taiz. But
[00:17:42] nothing reaches Taiz. The Houthi has closed
[00:17:45] all roads
[00:17:47] and houses.
[00:17:50] We thank you very much, Dr. Ilan Abd Al-Haq, Undersecretary
[00:17:54] of Taiz Governorate for Health Affairs. You were with us.
[00:17:58] Thank you very much,
[00:18:00] short break and then
[00:18:03] return.
[00:19:15] Welcome back, dear viewers.
[00:19:18] Let me welcome my guest, Colonel Abdul
[00:19:22] Basit Al-Bahr, Deputy Head of Moral Guidance in Taiz
[00:19:26] Axis, to brief us on the latest field developments.
[00:19:30] Welcome, Colonel.
[00:19:32] العقيد
[00:19:35] Hello to you, and hello to you.
[00:19:47] Welcome, and a greeting from you also to all the
[00:19:51] brave heroes stationed on the fronts
[00:19:55] of glory and dignity and defending the
[00:19:58] great land of Taiz, this
[00:20:02] land where all the militias and all the
[00:20:05] fronts
[00:20:07] are defeated at its gates.
[00:20:09] Welcome, and a greeting from you also to all the
[00:20:13] brave heroes stationed on the
[00:20:17] fronts of glory and dignity and defending the land,
[00:20:21] the great land of Taiz,
[00:20:24] this land where all the militias and the militias
[00:20:27] and the Taiz
[00:20:30] in the district of Daba Al-Habsi, the outskirts of the district of Daba
[00:20:34] Al-Habsi, towards Al-Dabab. These
[00:20:38] areas are witnessing strong clashes, and the
[00:20:41] army heroes were able
[00:20:44] from a number of
[00:20:47] locations in
[00:20:50] and in a number of hills. Clashes are
[00:20:54] also currently taking place in Al-Siyahi,
[00:20:58] and they are decisive, God willing. Within the hour,
[00:21:01] the forces will control
[00:21:03] them. There
[00:21:06] are also clashes
[00:21:09] on the outskirts of Qatara Al-Mawazin in
[00:21:12] the direction of Al-Sarai
[00:21:16] and Al-Barbar in the direction
[00:21:20] of
[00:21:23] Taiz, and this area
[00:21:26] is also witnessing fierce clashes, and
[00:21:29] clashes have been witnessed during the past hours and days
[00:21:33] using
[00:21:36] the court, which led to the death of
[00:21:39] a large number of their leaders, from their fanatics
[00:21:43] and from their cells,
[00:21:46] and the destruction of their assets and their settlements.
[00:21:50] And the heroes there are still fighting
[00:21:53] and achieving victories
[00:21:56] and making strong progress, and God
[00:22:00] willing, the coming hours will also bring
[00:22:04] fronts, God willing.
[00:22:06] The air force has played a role. The air
[00:22:09] raids are also precise and fast
[00:22:12] and the intense liberation that
[00:22:16] supports the forces and targeted a number of equipment and...
[00:22:20] support and vehicles
[00:22:23] and reinforcements and fortifications and roads in these
[00:22:26] fronts and elsewhere in the vicinity
[00:22:28] of Taiz and in the most intense
[00:22:32] fronts. The air force
[00:22:35] is, of course, continuing to liberate
[00:22:39] the militias on the outskirts of Taiz from all
[00:22:42] directions. Yes, God willing, many days
[00:22:45] are coming, and they need to win.
[00:23:20] far from the city and the main entrances to the city
[00:23:24] from all directions.
[00:23:27] And our forces are the ones who,
[00:23:31] meaning, regained the initiative, and they are the ones who attack,
[00:23:35] and they are the ones who push back to the distant outskirts.
[00:23:37] And our forces are the ones
[00:23:40] who regain and gather the militia
[00:23:44] elements. And the militias
[00:23:46] are retreating and collapsing. The coming
[00:23:51] days will also see greater escalation in combat operations
[00:23:54] and a higher pace in air strikes and a greater
[00:23:58] recovery of captured land and liberated
[00:24:02] positions. And victory
[00:24:05] will come, God willing. What does the fronts need
[00:24:08] today? And what do the
[00:24:11] heroes need? And what is the message you want to convey
[00:24:15] through Yemen
[00:24:17] Satellite Channel?
[00:24:21] First, Taiz in general needs to break the siege because
[00:24:24] the militias were able to reach the main
[00:24:27] road and the southern road
[00:24:30] that connected Taiz to Al-Abd and
[00:24:33] Lahj. The heroes and what is the message
[00:24:37] you want to convey through Yemen Satellite
[00:24:39] Channel?
[00:24:43] First, Taiz in general needs to break the siege because
[00:24:47] the militias were able to reach the main road
[00:24:50] and the southern road
[00:24:53] that connected Taiz to Al-Abd and
[00:24:55] Lahj.
[00:25:00] or intensify air sorties to activate
[00:25:04] this area so that the
[00:25:07] advance and liberate this road and break
[00:25:10] the siege, and this will, God willing, be done,
[00:25:13] but it needs a little time
[00:25:16] and the completion of the necessary procedures.
[00:25:44] I mean, they look forward, after God Almighty, to these heroes
[00:25:48] and their victory,
[00:25:55] it is the battle of Taiz and the destiny of Taiz to fight this
[00:26:01] Yemen and to win in the assembly.
[00:26:32] in it and not to heed all these rumors
[00:26:35] and fabrications of the militias that create
[00:26:38] false victories and advances.
