Yemen-Press All fighting groups in Yemen have agreed to a nationwide ceasefire due to the coronavirus outbreak after a call last Wednesday from the UN secretary-general for an immediate end to hostilities. Yemen has seen a series of fits and starts in efforts to end bloody Saudi-led aggression, which began in 2015 and has created one of the world’s most severe humanitarian crises, according to the United Nations.
UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres called on those fighting in Yemen to end hostilities and ramp up efforts to counter a potential outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic.
“More than five years of conflict have devastated the lives of tens of millions of Yemenis,” the UN chief said in a statement on Wednesday, adding that an escalation in fighting in the towns of al-Jawf and Marib now threatens to deepen human suffering.Yemen’s ambassador to Iran slams UN envoy remarks after missile fired at Riyadh
