Zabid:The General Authority for the Preservation of Historic Cities has strongly condemned what it describes as blatant Saudi aggression targeting the historic city of Zabid and its surrounding protected buffer zone.
According to Yemen News Agency, the Organization has labeled the attack as a flagrant violation of international and humanitarian conventions and norms. The statement emphasizes that the direct targeting of historical sites, particularly Zabid and its buffer zone, which is inscribed on the UNESCO World Heritage List, constitutes a crime against human heritage and is seen as a deliberate attempt to obliterate the cultural and civilizational identity of the Yemeni people.
The Authority highlighted that Zabid is an irreplaceable historical treasure deserving urgent global protection, support, and attention. It concluded its statement by appealing to the international community and relevant United Nations bodies, particularly UNESCO, to take legal and moral responsibility in safeguarding this global landmark from further attacks.
