也門實施人道停火,仍有戰鬥

Saudi-led coalition airstrikes in Yemen are on hold Monday at the start of a five-day humanitarian truce, although intense ground fighting continues in some areas after Houthi rebels rejected the cease-fire.

Rebel attacks were reported Monday in parts of the south of the country.

The coalition that has been fighting the Iranian-allied Houthi Shi'ite rebels with air attacks for the past four months declared the temporary truce to allow badly needed emergency supplies into Yemen.

On Sunday, Houthi chief Abdel-Malek al-Houthi said a cease-fire would only benefit Islamic State and al-Qaida militants. "The battle goes on and the war is not over," al-Houthi was quoted as saying on his group's Twitter account.星期一，以沙特爲首的阿拉伯盟國在五天人道停火開始之際暫停對也門的空襲，不過胡塞反政府武裝拒絕接受停火，有些地區仍有激烈戰鬥。

星期一有報道說，反政府武裝在南方一些地方發動襲擊。

以沙特爲首的盟國四個月來一直空襲與伊朗結盟的胡塞什葉派武裝，但沙特等國最近宣佈暫時停火，以便向也門運送急需的人道救援物資。

胡塞反政府武裝領導人阿卜杜勒·馬立克·胡塞星期天說，停火只會對伊斯蘭國和基地組織激進分子有利。胡塞組織在推特網站上援引他的話說，“戰鬥仍在進行，戰爭還沒有結束”。
