Taiz:The local authority in Taiz province has opened the Al-Rubaie-Al-Maqhayah-Al-Dhabab road, significantly reducing the travel distance between Taiz city and the Al-Hujariyah areas from over 110 km to just eight km.
According to Yemen News Agency, the road is now accessible to small and medium-sized vehicles, marking a major advancement in infrastructure, transportation, and easing travel burdens for citizens. This newly opened route establishes a vital link between the city and the Al-Hujariyah areas.
Deputy Governor Mohammed Al-Rumaima, alongside Executive Unit Director Hossam Al-Fatish and Al-Mudhaffar District Director Mohammed Abdulwasea Al-Soufi, conducted an inspection of the road. They reviewed the completed excavation, expansion, and improvement works, which were executed under the guidance and oversight of Governor Ahmed Al-Masawi.
Al-Rumaima emphasized that opening the road serves as a practical response to the humanitarian challenges caused by the closure of Taiz's main roads and crossings by Saudi Arabia and its mercenaries. He highlighted that many vital routes remain closed, compelling residents to rely on long and difficult alternative paths, which has exacerbated the struggles of patients, particularly those with kidney failure and cancer, and hindered access to hospitals, food, fuel, and other essential goods.
He further stressed the local authority's commitment to implementing priority service projects and overcoming obstacles to enhance services and alleviate citizens' suffering. Additionally, Al-Rumaima affirmed the local authority's readiness to open any main road to small and medium-sized vehicles while continuing inspections and maintenance to ensure safe and smooth traffic flow.
