Yemen's cultural capital Taiz now lies in ruins
Until last year, fighting between Houthi rebels and pro-government forces wrecked the city. But with attacks now at a standstill, residents fear that Taiz won't be rebuilt anytime soon.

Taiz was once Yemen's cultural capital, but like Syria's Aleppo and Iraq's Mosul, much of it now lies in ruins.
The Red Cross says the city is now a case in point for how destructive urban warfare can be.
Pro-government militias liberated the city from Houthi rebels last year, but the memory of the fighting is still fresh for the residents that stayed.
