They had signaled Friday night they planned a release of prisoners, part of their efforts to ease tensions after the ceasefire in the Israel-Hamas war in the Gaza Strip. However, the release follows the Houthis detaining another seven Yemeni workers from the United Nations, sparking anger from the world body.
The Red Cross said it «welcomes this unilateral release as another positive step towards reviving negotiations» over ending the country's long-running war.
«This operation has brought much-needed relief and joy to families who have been anxiously waiting for the return of their loved ones,» said Christine Cipolla, the ICRC's head of delegation in Yemen. «We know that many other families are also waiting for their chance to be reunited. We hope that today's release will lead to many more moments like this.»
The Houthis did not immediately acknowledge the release had happened.
