About Us

The United Nations Mission to support the Hodeidah Agreement (UNMHA) is a United Nations peacekeeping mission established in January 2019 to oversee the implementation of the Stockholm Agreement, which was reached between the Yemeni government and the Houthi movement in December 2018. The agreement calls for a ceasefire in the city of Hudaydah and the withdrawal of all forces from the city and its ports.

UNMHA has a mandate to monitor the ceasefire, verify the withdrawal of forces, and facilitate the delivery of humanitarian assistance to the city of Hudaydah. The mission has a strength of 300 military observers, police officers, and civilian staff.

UNMHA has been operating in a challenging environment, and it has faced a number of obstacles in its efforts to implement the Stockholm Agreement. However, the mission has made some progress, and it has helped to reduce the violence in the city of Hudaydah.

The future of UNMHA is uncertain, and it is unclear how long the mission will be needed in Yemen. However, the mission has played an important role in trying to bring peace to Yemen, and it will continue to play a vital role in the coming months and years.
