Seven landmarks of the Kingdom of Saba are added to the list of endangered World Heritage sites in ''an emergency procedure' sparked by the ongoing conflict in Yemen.

abc.net.au/news/yemen-and-lebanon-sites-added-to-unesco-endangered-list/101897368An ancient Yemeni kingdom and a Lebanese modernist concrete fair park have been added to UNESCO's list of World Heritage sites in danger, the latest entries from the Middle East.They are under threat of destruction due to the ongoing conflict in Yemen

The threat of destruction from the ongoing conflict was cited as the key reason to add the seven landmarks which include several ancient temples, a dam and the ruins of old Marib. A barrage of Saudi-led air strikes has destroyed historic mud homes in Northern Saada, the historic Houthi heartlands, and damaged much of the over 2,500-year-old Old City in the centre of Sanaa, also a UNESCO World Heritage site.
