Centuries-old heritage sites in Gaza, including Al Pasha Palace, the Great Omari Mosque, and Barquq Castle now stand shattered after repeated Israeli strikes. Conservation teams on the ground are working with limited tools and scarce materials to salvage what remains.
Experts warn that some losses are irreversible, with restoration costs estimated at $133 million and timelines stretching up to a decade.
Amid rubble, workers gently collect stones, document damage, and fight to keep Gaza’s cultural memory alive.
