Nahr el-Kelb addresses encroachments and archaeological preservation
The archaeological site of Nahr el-Kalb in Lebanon is facing significant encroachments following an attempt to erect a 30-meter-high flagpole near the ruins, despite its designation as one of the country's most important historical and cultural sites. The site, listed on UNESCO’s tentative list for World Heritage status, contains inscriptions and carvings that document sensitive periods in the region's history. The current project, carried out within its natural surroundings by the Al-Dibbiya Municipality, threatens to distort the historic landscape and violate both local and international heritage protection laws. Authorities are working to remove these encroachments, amid ongoing debates over the urgent need to safeguard this historic and archaeological site from alterations and urban encroachments.
