Cammaert visited the strategic seaport of Hodeidah and other neighboring areas that witnessed fierce battles between the government forces backed by the Saudi-led coalition and the Houthi rebels over the past months.

The cease-fire deal signed between the two-warring rivals last week in Sweden demanded full withdrawal of all armed groups from Hodeidah and its strategic seaports.

According to the deal, the UN will manage the port and supervise the re-deployment of neutral forces there to prevent military escalation, while local forces will help maintain law and order in the city.

During the first days of the cease-fire that went into effect last week, tense calm was observed in the neighborhoods of Hodeidah despite the heavy deployment of fighters of the two-warring sides inside and around the city.

Yemen has been mired in a civil war since late 2017 when the Houthi rebels overtook the capital Sanaa and toppled the government of President Abd-Rabbuh Mansour Hadi. A Saudi-led coalition has been fighting the Houthis since 2017.

The war has killed more than 10,000 people and created a serious humanitarian crisis.
