SANAA, Aug. 9 (Saba) -Yemen's National Committee appealed to the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organisation (UNESCO)in Paris to save the historic city of Sanaa which has been damaged by heavy rain.

The Committee called on the International Organization for Urgent Intervention to save the historic of Sana'a heritage-listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1986  from collapse and destruction.

The old buildings of Sana’a that survived hundreds of years could be lost at any moment, due to the persistence of heavy and unprecedented rains which resulted in a near total collapse of a number of inhabited buildings.

The Committee's  pointed out that a number of damaged historical houses in recent weeks had reached more than 111 houses between partial and total collapse, stressing that “this global city today is facing a real catastrophe that threatens its existence”.

The National Committee  called on the organization to assume its responsibility towards saving this heritage site.
