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.
