The devastation of Israel’s war on Gaza has not spared the besieged strip's cultural heritage and museums, mosques, churches, and archaeological sites have been destroyed or heavily damaged.
As of September, Unesco confirmed damage to 69 cultural heritage sites since the war started on 7 October 2023.
These include 10 religious sites, 43 buildings of historical and artistic interest, two repositories of movable cultural property, six monuments, one museum, and seven archaeological sites.
