Cease-fire in Yemen as UN monitor visits port city

HODEIDAH, Yemen - The head of a UN team monitoring the UN-backed cease-fire in Yemen's Red Sea port city of Hodeidah visited its main port, neighborhoods and some frontlines on Monday.

Patrick Cammaert, a retired Dutch general, leads a joint committee from both Yemeni rival forces, namely the Saudi-backed government and the Iranian-allied Houthi rebels, tasked with overseeing the implementation of the cease-fire in Hodeidah.

Cammaert was accompanied by the Houthi representatives of the cease-fire committee during his visit to the rebel-held docks.
