Thursday’s announcement that a ceasefire deal has been reached between Yemen’s warring sides in the key Red Sea port of Hudaydah will make it “easier” to save millions of lives in the wartorn country, the World Food Programme (WFP) has said.

In an interview with UN News’s Daniel Johnson, WFP spokesperson Hervé Verhoosel explains how more such deals are needed to help severely food insecure people in 45 districts across Yemen, and how the international community should support its recovery in the long-term.
