The ICRC supported the unilateral release of 113 detainees in Yemen, with the Houthi group releasing the prisoners in Sana'a. This marks a "positive step" towards reviving negotiations under the Stockholm Agreement, according to the ICRC. The released detainees were among those regularly visited and assisted by the ICRC in Sana'a, with the organization stating they hope this release paves the way for further releases. The ICRC also expressed its readiness to extend its humanitarian services to individuals detained in relation to the Yemen conflict and their families, and to support their release when authorized by the detaining authorities.
