STORYLINE:

Yemen's Houthi rebel group on Saturday unilaterally released 153 war prisoners detained during the civil war with the Yemeni government forces in recent years, the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) said.

Iscander Saeed, the spokesperson of the ICRC in Yemen, told reporters at a press conference in Sanaa that "Ansarullah (Houthis) today released 153 war prisoners unilaterally."

The ICRC welcomes this unilateral release, he added.

Those released were handed over to their family members who had come to Sanaa from other provinces.

Yemen has been mired in a civil war since late 2014 when the Houthi group seized control of several northern provinces and forced the Saudi-backed Yemeni internationally recognized government out of the capital Sanaa.
   
The war has killed tens of thousands of people, displaced 4 million, and pushed the country to the brink of starvation, according to United Nations (UN) aid agencies.
