On Saturday, the Saudi-led coalition announced a five-day humanitarian truce with the Houthi rebels in Yemen. The truce is due to come into force on 20:59 GMT Sunday. Earlier on Sunday, media outlets reported that Houthi leader Abdel-Malek Houthi rejected the proposed ceasefire in a message posted on the group's Twitter account.
The Houthi commander told Al Mayadeen that Abdel-Malek Houthi did not make such statement. The rebels are yet to comment on the humanitarian truce, according to the broadcaster.
In late March, the Saudi-led coalition of Arab states began airstrikes against Houthis in Yemen at the request of Hadi.
According to the UN statistics, more than 21.1 million people in Yemen are in need of aid, of which 13 million are faced with food shortages.
