Taiz, Yemen – The woman held the body of a young baby girl wrapped in a white shroud. “Our children are dying because of the siege . We have no open road, no medics and no medicines,” the woman said. Wearing the traditional clothing of women from Jabal Sabir, the mountain that overlooks the city of Taiz and is one of its most famous symbols, she appeared in a short video widely circulated on social media on November 10. In her arms was the body of an infant from her family, identified as Gaza Ali Abdulmughni al-Shaqab, who had fallen ill and died after her family was unable to get her emergency medical care.
