According to Al Mayadeen reporter in Yemen, the first 10 days of the renewed truce in Yemen have witnessed 1568 violations by the Saudi-led coalition from August 3 till Friday last night.
In the past 4 months of the ongoing truce, from April 2022 to August 2022, 25,576 violations have been committed by the Saudi-led coalition, as reported by our correspondent citing the daily reports of the Sanaa government forces. He added that the violations included both aerial and artillery strikes by surveillance aircraft targeting military positions of the Yemeni Army and Popular Committees in Marib, Hajjah, Saada, Al-Hudaydah, Taiz, and border frontiers.
Mohammed Abdulsalam, Sanaa’s head of negotiating delegation, told Al Mayadeen on Thursday that "this is the last time we will accept the extension of the truce as per the current conditions," while warning that failing to reach a humanitarian decision on the employees' salaries and the blockade could impede the ceasefire.
On August 2, the United Nations Special Envoy to Yemen, Hans Grundberg, said the warring parties agreed on extending the truce for an extra two months per the same conditions with the aim of maintaining negotiations and reaching a comprehensive truce as soon as possible.
The truce in effect in Yemen since last April 2, which was also extended on June 2, stipulates the suspension of military offensives by land, sea, and air in Yemen and across its borders, in addition to facilitating the entry of ships carrying fuel to Al-Hudaydah ports in western Yemen.
The extended truce also stipulates permitting two commercial planes from and to Sanaa International Airport weekly and holding a meeting between both parties concurring on opening roads in Taiz and other governorates to promote freedom of movement within Yemen.
