> Seven-week-old twins Raghad and Raad were born prematurely and diagnosed with severe acute malnutrition. Fighting between Houthi fighters and government forces forced their family to flee on foot to Aden. Their father says soaring baby milk prices sometimes left them able to give the twins only water. The UN says hundreds of thousands have been displaced since a ceasefire collapsed, while Taiz is cut off and civilians face grave food risks.
