TaizObituaries have filled Yemeni Facebook feeds since early September.
In government-held Yemen, families post the dead’s names and photographs, while Houthi areas announce deaths mainly through official funerals.
Houthi fighters launched an offensive on Sept. 3, seized six districts within a week, then cut Taiz’s last government-held road.
Government forces launched Operation Dawn of Yemen to retake lost districts, and the siege of Taiz continues.
