SANAA: The Yemeni government and Houthi rebels completed the exchange of 1,056 prisoners, the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) in Yemen said.

Sanaa: In this file photo a Yemeni supporter of the Huthi rebels stands wearing an ammunition belt and holding a rifle as he attends with others a pro-Palestinian rally in the rebel-held capital Sanaa on January 31, 2020, against a US-brokered proposal for a settlement of the Israeli-Palestinian Middle East conflict. Yemen's Huthi rebels on October 14, 2020 freed two captive Americans, the White House said, in what was reported to be a swap in which Saudi Arabia freed some of the group's supporters. "The United States welcomes the release today of US citizens Sandra Loli and Mikael Gidada from Huthi custody in Yemen," Robert O'Brien, the national security advisor, said in a statement.
