Saudi coalition continues to violate ceasefire in Yemen
The aggressor Saudi coalition has violated the UN-supervised ceasefire 109 times in Hodeida, Yemen. The ceasefire agreed in Sweden between the Sana'a delegation and the Riyadh delegation started on the morning of Tuesday, December 18, 2018 in the western Yemeni province of Al-Hudaidah, but the Saudi coalition violates it every day with several fighter jets and reconnaissance drones, firing rockets and mortar shells and firing targets onto Yemeni soil.
The port of Al-Hudaidah is the main route for sending humanitarian aid to Yemen. The fourth round of the Yemeni peace talks started on 6 December 2018 with the presence of the Yemeni sides, chaired by Martin Griffiths, the UN Secretary-General's Special Representative for Yemen, in Stockholm, Sweden, and will take place on Thursday, 13 December 2018, with an agreement on a ceasefire in Al Hudida.
Saudi Arabia, with the support of the United States, the United Arab Emirates and several other countries, has launched a military invasion of Yemen since March 2015 and a land, sea and air siege. The outbreak of war by Saudi Arabia and its allies in Yemen has so far killed more than 16,000 Yemenis, injured tens of thousands and displaced millions of Yemenis. The Saudi military aggression has also left the impoverished country of Yemen severely short of food and medicine.
