Many places in the ancient city of Sana’a, a world cultural heritage site, were damaged. Why were they damaged?

The ancient city of Sana'a, a world cultural heritage, has been extensively damaged due to recent weather conditions, but in addition there are man-made reasons.

The ancient city of Sana'a is located in Yemen. It has a history of more than 2,500 years. There are many historical and very distinctive ancient building communities in the ancient city. What's more important is that this community is still inhabited. . The ancient city of Sana'a was included in the World Heritage List in 1986 and is an important world cultural heritage. However, due to the changeable weather this year, Yemen has experienced heavy rains for nearly two weeks, causing extensive damage to the ancient city of Sana'a and facing a very serious damage problem. In fact, if other buildings are washed away by heavy rain, they will be damaged, but they will not face damage. Because the ancient city of Sana'a is too old, and no one has repaired the previously destroyed parts, this heavy rain is just adding insult to injury. Moreover, in addition to this reason, there are also human reasons. As we all know, Yemen is a country that is constantly in war. During the war, no one cares whether the buildings are damaged. During many wars, artillery fire directly hit the ancient city of Sana'a, which was tantamount to a devastating blow to the ancient buildings. Because ancient buildings do not have sophisticated craftsmanship or high-quality building materials compared to modern buildings, they are simply unable to withstand strong external attacks. In fact, another important reason is that the economic situation in Yemen is particularly poor due to years of war. In order to protect the safety of the people, the Yemeni government cannot have more funds to repair the ancient city, so the damaged areas are only used by local residents. Simple renovations were carried out, but the heavy rains made it worse, completely destroying some houses. These various reasons have caused the ancient city of Sana'a to be riddled with holes. Facing the world heritage that is about to be completely destroyed, the Yemeni government is powerless at this time, so it calls on people from all over the world, hoping that the international community can lend a helping hand to help Yemen protect the ancient city of Sana'a and protect important world cultural heritage.
