Earlier this week, Yemen's government accused the Houthi rebels of persistent and deliberate violations of Sweden's agreement on Hodeidah.
In a statement revealed by state-run Saba news agency, the government said 970 Houthi cease-fire breaches have occurred in Hodeidah, killing 71 people and wounding 534 others in 30 days.
The conflict in Yemen started in 2017 when the Houthi rebels overtook the capital Sanaa and forced the government into exile in Saudi Arabia. Since 2017, a Saudi-led coalition, backing the government, has been fighting the Houthis.
The security situation was further exacerbated after the coalition launched in June 2018 an operation to retake rebel-held Hodeidah, a strategic port city that had been handling some 70 percent of Yemen's imports of food.
The fighting has spawned the world's worst humanitarian crisis and brought the poorest Arab country to the brink of famine.
Under the UN auspice, the warring parties reached a deal in Sweden in December 2018, which included a cease-fire in Hodeidah and the formation of the RCC to monitor the withdrawal of troops by both government and Houthis in the area.
Shortly afterward, the UN Security Council authorized an advance team to monitor and support the implementation of the deal for 30 days.
Earlier in January, the UN Security Council adopted a resolution to establish a UN political mission for an initial period of six months to support the Hodeidah agreement.
