The ancient Meroe pyramids in Sudan, a designated UNESCO World Heritage Site, are currently under threat due to the ongoing conflict in the country. Preservation efforts at the site, located in Bejrawiya, have been completely suspended as a result of the instability.
The pyramids are recognized for their distinct angular architecture. The combination of the active war and the natural accumulation of sand now poses a significant risk to the structural integrity of these historical monuments.
