The Ottoman era Murad Pasha caravanserai (or Khan Murad Pasha), which dates back to 1565 and serves as a museum with a collection of ancient artifacts and mosaics, is seen partially destroyed in the Syrian city of Maaret al-Numan in the Idlib province, which is under the control of opposition fighters, on June 16, 2015 following reported air strikes by Syrian government forces. Ten Arab countries said on May 14 they would coordinate to counter artifact smuggling and preserve the region’s heritage sites as more than 215,000 people have been killed in Syria since the uprising began in 2011, and more than half of the country’s population has been displaced.
