EU envoy in Yemen for talks over UN plan to run key port
Houthi officials say Ambassador Antonia Calvo Puerta arrived in Sanaa on Sunday to discuss the UN proposal for Hodeida port to be run by a third neutral party under UN supervision.
The Red Sea port of Hodeida, currently under Houthi control, is a vital lifeline for most of the country's population.
Yemeni officials in the internationally recognized government of President Abed Rabbou Mansour Hadi say they welcome the UN plan.
A Saudi-led coalition, backing Hadi's government and battling the Houthi rebels, has long planned to seize the port but held back over fears it would impede humanitarian aid deliveries.
