Nestled deep within the jungle of Colombia’s Sierra Nevada de Santa Marta is Ciudad Perdida, or The Lost City, an ancient wonder built by the Tayrona people over a thousand years ago. Rediscovered in the 1970s, this ancient site, which existed 650 years before Machu Picchu, has never achieved the same global recognition. The reality is that it is significantly larger, albeit much of it still remains underground.

The magnitude of destruction in Gaza is hard to overstate; 35,000 Palestinians have been killed, whilst 1.7 million have found themselves displaced from their homes (Source: OCHA). Every one of Gaza’s twelve universities has been either severely damaged or destroyed, and two-thirds of hospitals have been forced to shut down due to the Israeli offensive.
