This is exactly the kind of tit‑for‑tat coverage that normalizes endless war. Calling the Houthis simply Iran-backed and stressing oil shutdowns over human suffering erases the decade of blockade, foreign intervention, and the enormous civilian cost that produced this crisis. Seventy‑three injured and hundreds dead are not a footnote to market moves. Saudi strikes in Taiz and Marib will only deepen the humanitarian catastrophe; escalation is predictable when diplomacy and aid are sidelined. Western governments must stop arming parties to this conflict, push for an immediate UN‑mediated ceasefire, demand independent investigations into prison attacks, and prioritize humanitarian access and reconstruction over short‑term strategic gains. Peace and accountability, not more bombs, are the only path forward. 😔
