A delegation of Yemen’s Ansarullah movement and the United Nation’s [UN] special envoy for Yemen discussed ways to reach a truce in the war-torn country, a spokesman for the movement announced.

In a meeting between Ansarullah delegation and UN Envoy Ismail Ould Cheikh Ahmed in Oman’s capital of Muscat, the two sides conferred on calling a humanitarian ceasefire in Yemen, Ansarullah Spokesman Mohammed Abdulsalam said in a post in his social network account.

The talks come 100 days after Saudi Arabia and some of its Arab allies began to launch deadly air strikes against Yemen in March. 

The Saudi-led airstrikes since March 26 have not been authorized by the UN. 

According to the UN, the Saudi attacks have killed more than 2,600 people and injured at least 11,000 in Yemen. 

The meeting was also attended by the ambassadors of some European Union member states, Youm7 website reported on Saturday.
