United Nations, Shawwal 11, 1436, July 27, 2015, SPA -- The United Nations tonight welcomed the humanitarian truce decided by the alliance of legitimacy support in Yemen led by the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia in Yemen for five days and called on the rebels to respect it. In a statement, Secretary General Ban Ki-moon said that he urged the Huthi militias and forces loyal to them to give consent and commitment to the humanitarian truce for the good of all Yemenis, stressing that the high toll of civilian casualties makes the commitment to this truce and the possibility of extending it two necessary matters. --SPA 03:56 LOCAL TIME 00:56 GMT www.spa.gov.sa/w
