Heritage Under Threat: The committee also placed six sites on the World Heritage in Danger list, including conflict-affected properties in Lebanon and Palestine. Global Mix of New Sites: This year’s additions span major landmarks like Greece’s Mount Olympus and France’s D-Day landing beaches, alongside modernist architecture and new cultural and natural areas. Local Pressure Point: Back home, Moroni residents continue to struggle with water shortages, queuing for tanker supply as communal taps run dry.
