A SAUDI ceasefire during the holy month of Ramadan is meaningless as long as the brutal siege of Yemen continues, the Houthi resistance movement said today.

Riyadh announced a pause in hostilities which started at 6am local time today, bringing a temporary end to the relentless bombardment of Yemen.

It came days after the Houthi movement offered to make its own three-day ceasefire permanent in a bid to end seven years of devastating Saudi-led war.
