This article was first published by UNESCO.

UNESCO is conducting a preliminary damage assessment for cultural properties through remote monitoring based on satellite imagery and analysis provided by UNITAR/UNOSAT, as on-the-ground assessments are impossible in the current situation.

As of 29 November 2024, UNESCO has verified damage to 75 sites since 7 October 2023 – 10 religious sites, 48 buildings of historical and/or artistic interest, depositories of movable cultural property, 6 monuments, 1 museum and 7 archaeological sites.
