The two-month nationwide truce in Yemen is set to end on Thursday with negotiations failing to reach a lasting agreement over lifting the siege imposed by the Iran-backed Houthi militias on Taiz and reopening vital roads between the provinces.
The warring parties did not reach an agreement Saturday to lift the Houthi blockade, the United Nations said, after three days of talks in the Jordanian capital between legitimate government representatives and Houthis as part of a military coordination committee.
