Gaza cultural sites damaged during fighting

The Art Newspaper, 28 January 2009.
Gaza’s only museum, the Antiquities Museum of Gaza, was damaged during the 22 days of recent Israeli strikes. In addition, archaeologists are concerned for the area’s many historic and archaeological sites because of the high concentration of such sites throughout the war-damaged region. The long history of armed conflict in the region has made continuous archaeological excavation nearly impossible, with the result that many sites have been left unexcavated and unprotected.
