Burning rubbish chokes besieged Yemeni city of Taiz

Residents of Yemen's besieged city of Taiz are burning uncollected rubbish in the streets as sniper fire and fuel shortages keep sanitation trucks from reaching the main landfill. The waste buildup, which began after fighting escalated on October 5, has created toxic fumes and health risks for hundreds of thousands of people already facing a collapsing humanitarian situation.
