DOHA, Dec. 23 (Xinhua) -- Qatar supports the call of the UN Security Council for a cease-fire in Yemen and activating the agreements and commitments reached in the Stockholm negotiations, the state-run Qatar News Agency reported on Sunday.

Qatari Ministry of Foreign Affairs said in a statement that the UN decision would "alleviate the unprecedented human tragedy of the brotherly Yemeni people if all parties are committed to it.

The statement also reiterated Qatar's call to all parties of the conflict in Yemen to abide by international law and to enable international organization.

Yemen has been witnessing the nearly four-year war between the Houthi rebels and Saudi-backed government forces in Yemen's port city of Hodeidah.

Earlier on Friday, the UN Security Council approved the deployment for an initial 30 days of an advance monitoring team.
