Saudi-led coalition to start 48-hour truce in Yemen
None
A Saudi-led military coalition will start a 48-hour ceasefire in Yemen's war at noon (0900 GMT) on Saturday, official media reported, in the latest effort to end a conflict that has displaced millions and caused a worsening humanitarian disaster.
The coalition has been fighting Houthi rebels and forces loyal to former president Ali Abdullah Saleh since March 2015 to restore to power the internationally backed President Abd-Rabbu Mansour Hadi, overthrown by the Houthis in late 2014.
The war has killed more than 10,000 people, according to UN estimates, and has worsened disease and hunger.
