## Prediction

In the coming 24 hours, intensified Houthi–PLC clashes along the Taiz and Murad–Dhubab axes combined with likely Saudi air responses will increase civilian casualty and displacement risks in these corridors. Urban and peri-urban areas around Taiz are especially vulnerable to stray shells and air-dropped munitions, stressing already thin local health services. Short-term humanitarian actors will struggle to access new hotspots due to active fighting and airstrikes. Confirmation would be local hospital overflows, new IDP movement reports, or aid agency access alerts; denial would be evidence of front-line stabilization and limited air operations.

## Drivers

- Reported Houthi attacks east of Al-Jawf and along Murad–Dhubab axis
- PLC counterattacks near Mocha and Taiz
- Pattern of air and artillery use near populated areas in this theater
