On Friday, UN Secretary-General Guterres embraced the truce in Yemen, expressing hope for a political process to bring peace into the country.

"You must take that momentum in order to make sure that this truce is fully respected and that it is renewed and... that a true political process is launched," Guterres told reporters. 

"This demonstrates that even when things look impossible when there is the will to compromise, peace becomes possible." 

Earlier, the UN said that the parties a war in Yemen had agreed on a two-month extendable truce starting on Saturday, the first day of Ramadan for many Muslims around the world. The parties have also agreed on an accord for fuel shipments and Sanaa airport.

"I urge all parties to make the necessary arrangements to support the successful implementation of the truce, and to operationalize cooperation mechanisms without delay," Guterrres said.

Last Saturday, Yemen Supreme Political Council leader Mahdi Al-Mashat announced that Sanaa is unilaterally suspending all airstrikes and UAV and military operations against Saudi Arabia for three days.

"We are ready to turn this announcement into a solid commitment if Saudi commits to lifting the blockade and putting an end to its bombardment on Yemen," Al-Mashat declared, explaining that the ceasefire included suspending all military offensives including the Marib from, "and we reiterate the leader of the revolution's initiative on Marib, and we are waiting for their response."

No peace will be achieved without lifting the siege on Yemen, which has blocked the country from receiving basic necessities such as food, medicine, and fuel.
