Houthi officials

The World Health Organization says more than 800 people have been killed since fighting between the Houthis and Saudi-backed forces resumed in Yemen. The renewed conflict has worsened an already dire humanitarian situation in the country, and health officials warn the death toll could continue to rise as hostilities persist.

Yemen's Houthi authorities say Saudi-led airstrikes struck a market in the city of Taiz, killing and wounding civilians. The reported attack adds to the toll of Yemen's long-running war, in which Saudi-led forces have conducted frequent air campaigns against Houthi-held areas. Details on casualties remain limited to claims by Houthi officials, and the Saudi-led coalition has not yet issued a response to the report.

Houthi officials have accused forces aligned with the Yemeni government of carrying out a strike on a market that caused deaths, according to NBC News reporting. The claim comes amid the ongoing conflict in Yemen, where strikes on civilian sites such as markets have repeatedly drawn condemnation and disputes over responsibility between the warring parties.
