Résumé en anglais

Before the Israeli latest invasion in April 3, 2002, the old town of Nablus used to be well-preserved and home about 20,000 persons. Nablus, the commercial heart of the West Bank, which was in continuous use since Roman times, had recently carried out renovation and restoration projects withinternational and local funds. Since 1995 the Municipality of Nablus has started taking measures to revitalise the urban environment of the Old Town. Efforts began by renewal of the infrastructure; sanitation work and street tiling werecarried out. This was followed by stone cleaning of some street facades, repainting and repairing of windows and doors, and consolidation of dangerous or potentially unstable structures such as walls, street facades, or street coverings. Most of this careful cultural heritage preservation work has been under over the past two weeks.
