The UN-brokered pause in the fighting was meant to last a week to allow aid deliveries to the country’s 21 million people who have endured over three months of Saudi-led bombing.
However, the cease-fire, much needed to rush food supplies to a population threatened by famine, has been flouted by airstrikes conducted by the Saudi-led coalition.
A Houthi leader, Saleh al-Samad, described the continued Saudi raids as presenting "a clear challenge to the international community to shoulder its responsibilities and seriously try to stop this aggression".
According to UN records, the Saudi attacks have killed more than 2,600 people and injured at least 11,000 since the military aggression began against Yemen on March 26.
The coalition has been bombing Yemen in a bid to restore to power Yemen’s President Abd-Rabbu Mansour Hadi, who has fled to Saudi Arabia.
