Iran Press/ Middle East: The ceasefire in Yemen, which the aggressor Saudi coalition has repeatedly violated, was extended for another two months following the UN consultations to renew it, but the Saudi coalition violates it every day.
Mohammad Abdul Salam appreciated the Omani authorities for their efforts to extend the ceasefire and called for the intensive work of the United Nations to pave the way for paying the salaries of Yemeni employees and pensioners, reopening airports, and ports, and ending the blockade.
Abdul Salam said the humanitarian issues were among the natural rights of the Yemeni people and that the UN must address them immediately to reach more stable conditions in Yemen.
After the previous ceasefire, which was violated several times by the Saudi-led coalition, ended, the UN special envoy for Yemen on June 2 announced that the UN could extend the ceasefire for two more months.
