By Olivia Le Poidevin

GENEVA, Nov 3 (Reuters) – Fighting and access restrictions in and around the Yemeni city ofTaiz have left more than 13,000 pregnant women without essential healthcare and are leading to more miscarriages, the United Nations Population Fund said on Tuesday.

Taiz has been largely isolated for a month, with fighting preventing humanitarian supplies from entering and civilians from leaving, following an escalation in clashes between the Saudi-backed government and the Iran-aligned Houthi movement.
