The joint forces of the Saudi-led Arab coalition revealed that it was continuing to fully support the Yemeni Defense Ministry.

It is providing it with weapons and ammunition in its fight against the Iran-backed Houthi militias, it added.

Photos showed military supplies being delivered to Yemen’s Marib to back the Yemeni army.

The military is carrying out an offensive in the province against the Houthis, which are undermining efforts to reach a political solution.

Marib is home to millions of Yemeni civilians who have sought refuge in the province from other parts of the war-torn country.

The UN’s humanitarian affairs agency says it has ratcheted up its preparations for providing aid to Gaza after the ceasefire between Israel and Hamas takes effect.

Muhannad Hadi, the agency’s humanitarian coordinator for the territory, said Saturday the United Nations and its partners are ready to leverage the opportunity for large-scale relief, The Associated Press reported.

Hadi referenced in a statement the agreements reached on implementing humanitarian components in the first phase of the ceasefire, including the provision of supplies “including water, food, health and shelter to people across Gaza and the long-awaited release of hostages.”

The ceasefire between Israel and Hamas is set to go into effect at 8:30 a.m. local time (0630 GMT) on Sunday, mediator Qatar said. It will pause the fighting after 15 months of war and see the release of dozens of hostages held by the militants in the Gaza Strip and hundreds of Palestinians imprisoned by Israel.
