US EditionIsraeli Strikes Damage National Museum of Yemen in Sanaa
Israeli airstrikes on Sept. 10 damaged Yemen's National Museum in Sanaa, endangering over 75,000 artifacts and killing 46 people, according to Yemeni authorities.
- On Wednesday, Israeli airstrikes struck the National Museum of Yemen in Sanaa, causing extensive damage and leaving its courtyard and facade strewn with rubble, shattered windows, and doors, AP images show.
- Amid the Gaza war, Houthi-Israel exchanges have left Yemen's cultural sites vulnerable as government resources focus on more than 4 million internally displaced people and the national museum recently reopened.
- The museum authorities said windows, doors, and sections of the roof and rear facade were shattered or collapsed, risking thousands of artifacts at the National Museum of Yemen.
- Yemen's Ministry of Health reported 35 deaths and 131 injuries from Wednesday's strikes and the Ministry of Culture urged UNESCO to intervene despite its lack of presence in Sanaa.
- Experts warn the damage increases the risk of looting as destroyed doors and windows expose artifacts, while UNESCO's suspension after four detained team members hampers protection in Houthi areas.
