The UN’s cultural body says it would hold a meeting later this month to consider enhanced protection of cultural sites in Lebanon as Israel presses its bombardment campaign on Lebanon.
An extraordinary session of a UNESCO committee will be held at the body’s Paris base on November 18 to consider the inscription of Lebanese cultural properties on UNESCO’s international list of sites under “enhanced protection” as well as more funding, it said.
