Emergency Committee in Taiz Announces Suspension of Classes

The Emergency Committee in Taiz announced today, Thursday, the suspension of classes in public and private schools, colleges, and universities located in districts under the control of the Houthi terrorist militias. The committee granted temporary leave to employees working in these institutions to ensure the safety of citizens amid the exceptional security conditions in those areas.

Details of the Official Announcement

The committee clarified in its circular that the decision resulted from the inability to maintain regular operations and classes in several districts. This measure aims to protect employees, students, and educational and administrative staff while preventing civilians from facing risks.

• The committee granted temporary leave to employees in districts controlled by the Houthi militias, effective from the date of the circular until further notice, without affecting their legal or employment status.
• Classes in all schools, universities, colleges, and institutes in those districts will be suspended, and students will be considered on official leave until further notice.
• The resumption of classes and work will occur through an official notification once the circumstances that necessitated these measures have passed.
• Employees in vital sectors (health, sanitation, water) are exempted to ensure the minimum level of services continues.
• The committee warned state administrative employees against responding to any assignments or orders issued by the Houthi militias, emphasizing legal action against violators.
• The committee called on relevant authorities to implement the decision and report any issues or special cases to the Emergency Committee for legal resolution.

This decision comes amid the recent Houthi escalation, which has posed a direct threat to the safety of civilians in several districts of the governorate.
