The Arab Coalition to the Support the Legitimacy in Yemen confirmed early Monday morning that it agreed to enable the transfer of dozens of wounded Houthi fighters for treatment.

The Coalition spokesman Colonel Turki al-Maliki announced the facilitation of the transferring of 50 wounded Houthi fighters for humanitarian reasons to receive treatment in Oman's Muscat.

A United Nations plane will arrive at Sana'a airport to take a number of Houthi fighters and their companions, including three Yemeni doctors and a UN doctor.

The militias refuse to provide the United Nations with a list of the 50 names, fueling fears and suspicions that Iranian experts would be smuggled across a UN plane.

The Un envoy allowed the Houthis what they wanted, despite reservations and objections to such intransigence
