> Yemen’s conflict is intensifying as Houthi forces carry out what the report calls their largest military push in years in Al Jawf against Saudi-backed government forces. Government troops have stepped up counterattacks near Taiz, while thousands of civilians flee to coastal areas such as Al Khokha with scarce supplies. Houthi attacks have also been reported against Saudi air bases and energy facilities.
