According to the UN, the world’s worst humanitarian crisis is going on in Yemen due to the war.
of Yemen the six-month ceasefire has ended without an agreement on a continuation. UN Special Envoy Hans Grundberg said on Sunday in his statementthat attempts to extend and extend the ceasefire by six months had not yielded results.
Grundberg regretted that an agreement was not reached, because according to him, the extension of the ceasefire would have been a considerable advantage for the Yemeni people. He also appealed to the parties to the war to use all possible means to agree on peace.
A two-month ceasefire began in April and was extended twice. During that time, fighting between the Iran-backed Houthi rebels and the Saudi-led coalition decreased significantly, although both the rebels and the coalition accused each other of violating the ceasefire.
The war has been going on in Yemen since 2014, and hundreds of thousands of people have died directly and indirectly as a result. According to the UN, the world’s worst humanitarian crisis is going on in Yemen due to the war. More than 23 million Yemenis are dependent on humanitarian aid.
Grundberg’s the proposal included, among other things, the payment of civil servants’ salaries, the reopening of routes, the expansion of commercial flights and the release of more fuel ships than at present into the port of Hodeida, which is held by the Houthi rebels. In addition, the proposal mentioned the release of prisoners, the resolution of economic problems and the resumption of political processes.
Grundberg promised to continue working with the parties to the war to find a solution.
On Sunday, there were intermittent clashes in the southwestern parts of Yemen. Military sources from the coalition forces told news agency AFP that the Houthi rebels have sent additional reinforcements to the area.
The Houthis announced in their statement on Saturday that they consider the cease-fire to be a “dead end”. Their view is that in the past six months, there has been no serious desire to address the humanitarian problems, and the coalition has been unwilling to agree on measures aimed at reducing the suffering of Yemenis.
According to humanitarian organizations, the cease-fire reduced the number of victims by 60 percent and multiplied fuel transport to Hodeida. In Sanaa, many residents said that prices have dropped and the quality of everyday life has improved considerably.
