“Death is More Merciful Than This Life”
Houthi and Yemeni Government Violations of the Right to Water in Taizz

The armed conflict in Yemen between the Saudi and UAE-led coalition and the Houthi armed group is now in its eighth year. All warring parties have committed countless violations of international humanitarian law and human rights that have resulted in widespread civilian harm, and despite a six-month truce in 2022, these violations have continued. The coalition has conducted unlawfully indiscriminate and disproportionate airstrikes against civilians and civilian structures. Houthi forces have used banned landmines and fired artillery indiscriminately into populated areas. Parties have attacked and mined food and water infrastructure, as well as medical facilities, and have blocked access to humanitarian aid, leaving over 70 percent of the population in need of humanitarian assistance.
