What to watch

Putting the humanitarian agreement into practice
Watch for operational plans, specified funding and evidence of actual aid deliveries, rather than the signature alone.
Front lines and civilian protection
Watch for dated original statements from Taiz, Marib and Lahj, separating new casualties from repeated accounts of earlier incidents.
Red Sea navigation
Watch official maritime alerts and incident times; publication time is not the time of an attack.
