"Iranian art historians and #culturalHeritage authorities as well as ordinary citizens have been tireless, while under bombardment, trying to protect these sites and share with the world the destruction they’ve sustained. UNESCO has voiced concern, and even news outlets such as The New York Times—whatever excuses they make for Israel—have had to express dismay over the destruction of glorious monuments of world civilization."

'[A]ccording to UNESCO, 150 world #heritageSites in #Gaza had sustained damage since the start of the war. [...] "#TrésorsSauvésDeGaza,” which presented 123 works from those crates in Geneva, was both a preview of what a future museum of #GazanHistory might look like and a reminder of everything it will not contain.'

Embracing 'virtual dark tourism' could help heritage sites at risk of degradation, expert explains
https://phys.org/news/2024-01-embracing-virtual-dark-tourism-heritage.html
More #heritage report shenanigans. This time: obstacles to visiting #HeritageSites. It features this banger of a response.
Overall, it looks like main obstacles are an over-reliance on car access & parking. We have to seriously re-think how we're doing travelling to, from & around if we don't want to turn the country into a car park. Mostly my personal mantra is: improve #PublicTransport, esp busses in rural areas. Everyone wins, locals & visitors alike.
