ADEN (Reuters) - The United Nations on Thursday called for an immediate end to clashes near Yemen's main port of Hodeidah after a surge in fighting that sources said have killed dozens of people despite a U.N.-sponsored ceasefire in place in the area.
Hodiedah governorate has seen sporadic, limited fighting since the truce was agreed in late 2018 but intense clashes broke out this week between forces from the Iran-aligned Houthi movement and those allied with Yemen's Saudi-backed government around al-Durayhimi city and the nearby town of Hais.
