Hundreds of prisoners gather for a release ceremony in Yemen's capital, Sanaa, as the Iran-backed Houthis free 600 members of Saudi-backed government forces, according to the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC). The release comes amid renewed fighting that ended a ceasefire in place since 2022. Since hostilities resumed in July, more than 1,600 people have been killed and over 300,000 displaced, according to the UN.
