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

UNESCO has added the ancient city of Tyre in Lebanon to its list of World Heritage Sites in Danger due to damage from recent conflicts. The Lebanese authorities requested this action, citing significant risks to this historic site. Tyre, one of the oldest continuously inhabited cities on the Mediterranean coast, has suffered direct hits during attacks, affecting its preservation. The site is renowned for its 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, leading to irreversible damage to the country's heritage. Listing Tyre as endangered allows for increased international support for its conservation.
