Yemen’s Iran-backed Houthi rebels have started to withdraw from the Red Sea port city of Hodiedah, a key lifeline for food and supplies, months after the UN brokered a pact to spare it from a prolonged conflict.
The rebels said they were also withdrawing from ports of Salif and Ras Eisa, in line with a UN announcement about their unilateral redeployment, according to Saba news agency. Three UN teams are supervising the withdrawal, which is part of an agreement struck with Yemen’s government in Stockholm in December.
