“About 240 Yemeni people from wounded and stranded abroad have arrived in Sanaa on board two Omani planes,” Abdulsalam said in a tweet this evening.

He explained that among the returnees are the wounded who exited to Muscat during the Sweden consultations and the United Nations did not return them according to the agreement.

In his part, a top member in the Supreme Political Council, Mohammed Ali Al-Houthi, who was in forefront of those received the returnees at Sana’a Airport, welcomed the return of the wounded to the homeland after receiving treatment.

Al-Houthi called on the relevant authorities to pay great attention to the wounded in return for their sacrifices in confronting “the aggression forces.”
