The head of UNESCO visited Lebanon as concerns grow over the condition of the country’s cultural heritage sites.

The visit comes after the ancient city of Tyre was added to UNESCO’s list of World Heritage Sites in Danger in July, following reports of damage linked to the ongoing conflict.

Tyre is one of Lebanon’s most important ancient sites, with archaeological remains dating back thousands of years and major Roman-era monuments.

UNESCO has warned of serious threats to the site and previously carried out assessments of damage to cultural heritage in Lebanon.

The UNESCO chief’s visit comes as Lebanese authorities seek greater international support to protect the country’s cultural heritage during the conflict.
