The historic clay palace in Yemen is facing collapse

Sana'a - As a result of years of neglect and damage caused by persistent rain, the 19th-century Yemeni Sultan's Palace may collapse. This was reported by the BBC news website. The building is unique as it is among the largest structures made of earthen bricks in the world.
