Mohenjo Daro in Pakistan has been badly damaged by recent flooding
One of the world’s oldest preserved human settlements has been left in ruins after being ravaged by severe flooding in Pakistan. This is the worst natural disaster to ever hit the country, and officials are scrambling to provide aid to the millions of people affected.
The ancient city of Mohenjo daro, located in the Indus River Valley 508 kilometers (316 miles) from Karachi, was built during the Bronze Age, some 5,000 years ago.
“Unfortunately, we witnessed the mass destruction of the site,” reads a letter from the Cultural, Tourism, & Antiquities Department of Singh state sent to UNESCO and signed by curator Ihsan Ali Abbasi and architect Naveed Ahmed Sangah.
