Recent bombing and a resulting oil spill in Lebanon have damaged two World Heritage sites, says an inspection team from UNESCO. Roman remains at Tyre and a medieval tower at Byblos are in urgent need of repair.

Other important sites not under UN jurisdiction were also damaged. A team of Lebanese youths is to receive instruction in cleaning up the oil in Byblos.
