UNESCO include orașul antic Tir din Liban pe lista patrimoniului mondial aflat în pericol, după distrugerile provocate de război

The UNESCO has added the ancient city of Tyre in Lebanon to the World Heritage in Danger list due to damage from recent conflicts. Lebanese authorities requested this action, highlighting the significant risks to this historic site. The decision was made during the UNESCO World Heritage Committee meeting in Busan, South Korea. Tyre, one of the oldest continuously inhabited cities on the Mediterranean coast, has suffered direct hits during attacks, raising concerns about its preservation. The site is known for its exceptional Roman-era ruins, including a triumphal arch and a second-century hippodrome. The Lebanese government accuses Israel of violating cultural protection obligations during armed conflicts, emphasizing the need for international support for conservation efforts.
