More than two million Yemenis are forced to flee their homes due to escalating violence in the nine-month civil war caused by Saudi Arabia, its Coalition, and Mercenaries which lights fire of civil war in country.

Majid Mohammad a displaced in the city of Taiz say: “I was displaced from al Jahmaliyya area that witnessed fierce clashes. We fled due to the shelling and shooting that continues to happen there. So I took my kids and came here."

Ali Ahmad another displaced are now resident of Sanaa capital of country which is now under control of Popular Forces of Houthi Ansarallah Movement and also was under heavy bombardment of Saudi Arabia says: "As you can see, there are lots of damaged homes around us and their residents have fled. Some have fled to the countryside, some have fled the country all together, and some have fled to other cities. This neighborhood has become a town of ghosts. There is no one that can provide relief or record the damages or record anything."

Saudi hostilities with Yemeni people which opposed Saudi meddling in this country has plunged the country into a devastating humanitarian crisis.

Saudi Arabia has been striking Yemen for 265 days now to restore power to fugitive president Mansour Hadi, a close ally of Riyadh. The Saudi-led aggression has so far killed near 8,000 Yemenis, including hundreds of women and children.

Hadi stepped down in January and refused to reconsider the decision despite calls by Ansarullah revolutionaries of the Houthi Movement.

Despite Riyadh’s claims that it is bombing the positions of the Ansarullah fighters, Saudi warplanes are flattening residential areas and civilian infrastructures.

Today Peace talks on Yemen have begun in Switzerland in a bid to end more than nine months of bloodshed in the country as a highly-anticipated ceasefire begins to take effect.

Saudi Arabia confirmed earlier in the day that the previously proposed truce started on Tuesday.

Houthis, had earlier approved the proposal for holding the ceasefire on the eve of the UN talks.
