Palestinian workers in Gaza City have begun restoring the historic Pasha Palace Museum, a medieval fortress-turned-museum that suffered extensive damage during two years of conflict. The restoration effort, led by local heritage experts and coordinated with international organizations, faces significant challenges due to shortages of materials and ongoing restrictions on imports. Despite these obstacles, workers are salvaging stones and recovering artifacts, some dating back to Roman, Byzantine, and Islamic periods. The ceasefire has allowed these efforts to resume, highlighting the importance of preserving Gaza's rich cultural heritage, which has been severely impacted by the war.
