The Yemeni government and the Houthi rebels have agreed to call a ceasefire in the area surrounding the strategic city port of\u00a0Hudaydah in UN-brokered\u00a0peace talks held in Sweden.

Troops from both sides will withdraw over the next few days and the UN will then oversee things on the ground, which will hopefully include getting badly needed aid into the country.<\/p>\n
