Saudi Foreign Minister Adel Al-Jubeir said on Monday Saudi-led airstrikes will be suspended in Yemen in order to deliver humanitarian relief for violence-affected millions of people.
Media reports quoted Al-Jubair as saying the airstrikes will be suspended in times to be specified.
He did not reveal when this will happen while warning the Houthi militants and forces loyal to the former president against taking advantage of the move and hindering the delivery of aid.
On March 26, five GCC countries led by Saudi Arabia, Egypt, Jordan and Morocco launched airstrikes against the Houthi militants after they had ousted the transition government.
The Decisive Storm operation ended in late last month and the countries launched the Hope Renewal Operation.
The new operation includes helping the affected people and continuation of airstrikes when necessary.
The countries imposed a blockade on Yemen's sea and air ports to prevent the militants from receiving foreign support especially weapons.
Iran has been accused of providing support to the Houthi militant group in Yemen.
The humanitarian situation has largely deteriorated due to violence by the militants and the blockade.
More than one thousand people including civilians have been killed, thousands others injured and more than 150.000 displaced in recent violence.
Moreover, the country especially cities experiencing escalating battles between pro-government and pro-Houthi fighters has been facing acute fuel, medicine and food shortages.
The UN has warned of a complete failure of Yemen because of the latest developments.
Last month, the world health organization warned of an imminent collapse of the healthcare services as many hospitals were shutting down and others struggling to secure life-saving medicines, fuels and power.
The fuel crisis was triggered by Houthi confiscation of the country's fuel reserve and the blockade which has been affected all imports and exports. It has affected the whole situation.
Power plants have shut down, transport means vanished and businesses suspended their operations. Some firms ordered their staffs to stay home for two months and to come back if the situation improves or returns to normal then.
In recent weeks, electric power has been cut off successively. In few cases, power came back for an hour a day.
