Yemen’s Houthi Ansarullah movement set free, on Tuesday, an ailing Saudi prisoner on humanitarian grounds, while the Saudi-led coalition, backed by the US,launches over 100 missiles and shells and keep violating the truce over Hodeidah.

The leader of the revolution, Mr. Abdulmalik Badr al-Din al-Houthi, presented a humanitarian initiative to prepare for the release of the Saudi prisoner whose health has deteriorated due to hepatitis without any compensation and after the Saudi regime ignored the call for a prisoner exchange.

This came during a meeting with the Special Envoy of the Secretary-General of the United Nations to Yemen, Martin Griffith, on Monday in which the Leader of the Revolution expressed readiness to release the Saudi prisoner Musa Shu’i Ali Awaji as a humanitarian initiative after the Saudi regime ignored its critical health status.

The victims toll from a bombing in the southern Yemeni province of Taiz on Monday evening has risen to 42, whereas a source in Taiz told YemenExtra that 6 people were killed and 36 others injured when a bomb planted on a motorcycle near the gate of a popular cafe in the city of Mocha west of Taiz, the moment of overcrowding customers,adding that a media in the Abu Dhabi satellite channel, Ziad Al-Sharabi,  was killed while his colleague Faisal Al-Zahbani was injured.

Yemen’s army spokesman Yahiya Sarie called on the UN envoy to Yemen Martin Griffiths to condemn the ongoing violations by the Saudi-led coalition and its paid fighters in Hodeidah and to carry the full responsibility to presser on the coalition states to stop the continuing violations in the province.

The Director of the Health Bureau in the capital, Dr. Mattar Abbas Al Marouni, told the Yemeni News Agency (Saba) that at least 107 people were reported to have been infected with H1N1 influenza, including 22 people affected by the disease since the beginning of 2019, noting that reports of infected and deaths cases were received from all government hospitals and private centres operating in the Secretariat,and confirming that there is a shortage of medicines due to the siege imposed by the coalition on all land, sea and air outlets.

In March 2015, the US -backed –Saudi-led coalition started  a war against Yemen with the declared aim of crushing the Houthi Ansarullah movement, who had taken over from the staunch Riyadh ally and fugitive former president Abd Rabbuh Mansur Hadi, while also seeking to secure the Saudi border with its southern neighbor. Three years and over 600,000 dead and injured Yemeni people and  prevented the patients from travelling abroad for treatment and blocked the entry of medicine into the war-torn country, the war has yielded little to that effect.

Despite the coalition claims that it is bombing the positions of the Ansarullah fighters, Saudi bombers are flattening residential areas and civilian infrastructures.

However, Saudi Arabia relies heavily on the US in its brutal war on Yemen. Washington has deployed a commando force on the Arab kingdom’s border with Yemen to help destroy arms belonging to Yemen’s popular Houthi Ansarullah movement. Washington has also provided logistical support and aerial refueling.
