Slackness set behind houses collapse

SANA'A, Aug. 28 (Saba)- Chairman of the General
Authority for Historical Cities Protection (GAHCP) Abdullah Iysa referred on Friday
the
cause which rendered two houses in Old Sana'a to fall due to negligence though
warnings of the authority to owners of the houses.

The two houses collapsed earlier this week coinciding with heavy rain fall.
Iysa made clear to Saba that the specialized department in the authority is
reporting requests for houses renovation, submitted by owners or the local
authority, after a
field visit conducted by a team from the GAHCP and consequently estimates costs
required for refurbishment.
He noted that there are 8 thousand houses in Old Sana'a and they need continuous
renovation, specially before monsoon.
