Continued heavy rains in Yemen have impacted the ancient city of Sana’a, a world heritage site.
This year is a special year. In the first half of the year, we were affected by the epidemic, but now we have temporarily controlled the epidemic. But the weather did not go as planned. Just when we thought we could live peacefully, heavy rains are coming again, and floods of various sizes have occurred in many places. Recently, it has been reported that heavy rains have continued in Yemen for several days, and Yemen is located in a tropical region with abundant rainfall. Yemen is a place with historical heritage. In Yemen, there is a world heritage left by our ancient people - the ancient city of Sana'a. We all know that it has taken many years to preserve the world heritage, and how much wealth created by our ancestors has been submerged in it. Over the years, will the continuous heavy rains in Yemen have any impact on the ancient city of Sana'a, a world heritage site?
The answer is definitely influential. The ancient city of Sana'a has a history of more than 2,500 years and is the oldest ancient city building complex inhabited by humans so far. So it can be seen that the ancient city of Sana'a is very old, so it is a little lacking in protection. Now the area of the ancient city of Sana'a is one of the areas hit hardest by heavy rains in Yemen this year. It is understood that more than 6,500 houses have collapsed. If heavy rains continue, this ancient city may also be submerged in history. In the years.
Facing the current situation, the Yemeni government stated that they have no way to save it and have reported it to the United Nations in the hope that the international community can provide help. Otherwise, they will have to declare the ancient city of Sana'a to be a high-risk area. Moreover, Yemen has been in war for a long time, so the ancient city of Sana'a itself has been severely damaged by the war, and the Yemeni government has no extra money for repairs. Coupled with the heavy rain this time, the ancient city has been even worse. If it is not rescued, the ancient city is likely to be flooded. It is sad to say that how many heritages have been submerged in the traces of time throughout the ages. They were once regarded as the business card of Yemen, but now they are facing destruction.
