The truce between Shiite Houthi rebels and the coalition of Arab nations under Saudi Arabia's leadership was announced late Tuesday, May 12 and expired late Sunday. Both sides of the conflict traded blame for violating the short ceasefire.
On April 21, the Arab coalition announced an end to the military operation and launched Operation Restoring Hope to provide a humanitarian corridor for residents in need of assistance and focus on counter-terrorism efforts.
UN figures say the Saudi-led coalition's air campaign has killed over 1,600, injured more than 6,000 and displaced tens of thousands more.
