Description
Construction workers restore the iconic Al-Nuri mosque and the famous Syriac Catholic church of Al-Tahera in Iraq's Mosul. UNESCO, the UN cultural agency, has been working to restore the mosque and other architectural heritage sites in the city, much of it reduced to rubble in the battle to retake it from IS in 2017. "Last week, work was suspended for two days due to the discovery of war remnants in the prayer hall", says UNESCO's site coordinator for the Al-Nuri mosque, Omar Mohammed, adding that "the site was confirmed to be safe and free of any hazards."
