Nieuws 📅 10 November 2026 📍 Palestina

The Palestine News Network’s Al-Makshouf TV report said Mohammed Saad rescued thousands of books from his 35-year personal library in Beit Lahia, moved them to Deir al-Balah and opened a free, open-air library used by displaced families. The report also interviewed Ibrahim Alwan, director general of heritage at the Palestinian Ministry of Culture, who said more than 95% of Gaza’s cultural institutions, civic associations and historical centers had suffered severe structural damage; that estimate is attributed to him. The library is a community-led effort to preserve access to books and cultural heritage amid destruction and displacement.
