The Islah statement pointed to the steadfastness of the city of Taiz and its struggle against the Houthi militias to restore the state, and that they are committed to their pledge of general mobilization, but it indicated, saying, "Its people (Taiz) and all the Yemeni people are facing difficult living conditions and painful inflation," according to the statement.

The reform warned that the deterioration of living conditions "may reflect its negative impact on public tranquility and social security, and provide opportunities for those with bad intentions who are lying in wait."
