"I welcome the agreement by the Government of Yemen and the Houthis to renew the truce in Yemen for an additional two months under the same terms as the original agreement," said Guterres in a statement issued at UN headquarters in New York. He is in Stockholm, marking 50 years since the UN conference linking the environment and poverty.
Since the original truce came into effect on April 2, he said, Yemenis experienced tangible benefits, including a significant reduction in violence and civilian casualties. The UN chief also noted an increase in fuel deliveries through the Hodeidah port and the resumption of international commercial flights from Sanaa for the first time in almost six years. The conflict began in 2014.
