Riyadh: The Saudi-led coalition that has bombed Shiite rebels in Yemen since March unilaterally declared a five-day humanitarian truce from Monday to allow aid deliveries, the official Saudi Press Agency reported.
SPA said the decision was taken at the request of Yemen`s President Abedrabbo Mansour Hadi, who has taken refuge in the Saudi capital with much of his government.
Hadi, whose supporters have recaptured most of the southern port of Aden from the Huthi rebels after four months of war, wanted the truce for the "delivery and distribution of the maximum amount of humanitarian and medical aid", it said.
Two previous ceasefires brokered by the United Nations failed to take hold.
