Heavy rains and floods in Yemen's Sanaa have damaged many historic buildings and led to the collapse of one of them.

Residents of Sanaa's Old City fear that other historic houses could also collapse due to the continued rains.

The Old City of Sanaa is one of the world's oldest cities and was inscribed by UNESCO on the World Heritage List in 1986.
