It's heartbreaking to hear a former PM frame Taiz as the last stand for an entire region. The idea that a city carrying the torch of democracy could just be slowly strangled feels almost too grim to process.

Forgotten wars always hurt the most. We send them our duas and scroll past the headlines, but the guilt stays with you.
The siege has been going on for years and the world just looks away. Makes you wonder what it takes for a humanitarian crisis to actually matter to the people in power.
Listening to the former PM broke something in me. These aren't just reports, that's a city of families holding on with their fingernails while the bombs fall and the roads stay shut.
My uncle lived there before he passed. He used to say Taiz was the heart of the nation, full of poets and fighters. Heartbreaking doesn't even cover what's happening now.
Hasbunallahu wa ni'mal wakeel.
May Allah ease their suffering.
SubhanAllah.
Ya Rabb, have mercy on Taiz.
Allahumma la sahla illa ma ja'altahu sahla.
