The UN Security Council has urged warring parties in Yemen to urgently intensify negotiations towards expanding their historic truce that could be translated into a "durable ceasefire," according to a UN statement issued on Monday.
Members of the Security Council welcomed the "exceptional measures" taken by the Yemeni government to avert fuel shortages in the Houthi-controlled areas, reiterating their call upon the Houthis to act with flexibility in negotiations and immediately open the main Taiz roads.
