UN demands aid access to besieged Yemen city Taiz

The United Nations insisted Tuesday that aid must immediately be allowed to enter Yemen's third-biggest city Taiz, besieged by pro-Iran Houthi fighters blocking all supplies.

"Humanitarian aid must be immediately allowed to enter the city and its passage must be facilitated," U.N. rights chief Volker Turk said in a statement, warning that civilians were being placed "at grave risk."
