HUDAYDAH, 4 February 2020 — The Head of the United Nations Mission to Support the Hudaydah Agreement (UNMHA) and the Chair of the Redeployment Coordination Committee (RCC), Lt. Gen. (Ret.) Abhijit Guha, said he was deeply concerned by the aerial strike that took place in Al Dahi district (north of Hudaydah city), on 31 January. 

Lt. Gen. Guha notes that any aerial attack undermines the spirit of the Hudaydah Agreement and jeopardizes its implementation.

He urges the parties to work in good faith, and jointly, through the RCC and the Ceasefire Enhancement and De-escalation Mechanism, to ensure that the ceasefire is respected, and that de-escalation is sustained on the ground. UNMHA reiterates its commitment to support the parties in this regard.
