Some 200 seafarers aboard more than 15 ships stuck for weeks off Yemen's port of Ras Isa are preparing to offload cargoes and leave thanks to a ceasefire deal between Houthi militia and the U.S., maritime and labour union sources said on Thursday.

A ceasefire deal between Yemen's Houthis and the U.S. does not include sparing Israel, the group said on Wednesday.

Yemen’s Iran-allied Houthi rebels reached a ceasefire with the United States. But analysts say they are already in rebuilding mode.
