YEMEN-SANAA-WAR-QAMARIA WINDOW-INDUSTRY

Photo taken on Dec. 31, 2019 shows a room inside a house installed with Qamaria windows in Sanaa, Yemen. Ancient Yemeni old city of Sanaa always captures visitors' eyes with its unique architecture of windows which refect beautiful shining colors and are made of stained glass and gypsum plasters. But the ancient architectural handicraft is at risk of disappearing mainly because of the civil war. Instead, many windows are now made of aluminum. (Photo by Mohammed Mohammed/Xinhua)
