#Gaza Strip: Damage assessment

#UNESCO is conducting a preliminary damage assessment for cultural properties through remote monitoring based on #satellite imagery & analysis, as on-the-ground assessments are impossible.

As of 27 May 2025, UNESCO has verified damage to 110 sites since 7 October 2023 โ€“ 13 religious sites, 77 buildings of historical and/or artistic interest, 3 depositories of movable #cultural property, 9 monuments, 1 #museum and 7 #archeological sites.

So perhaps thatโ€™s the end of telegraph poles (with their ugly strung cables), satellite dishes and aerials. I can live with that, if it happens. ๐Ÿ“ก
